A car is initially at rest on a straight road. The histogram below shows the car's speed along that road (the x-axis) as a function of time. Calculate the distance traveled by the car during the first 6 s. Calculate the distance traveled by the car from t=11 to t=14 s. Calculate the average speed of the car from t = 5 s to t=9 s. Thanks a lot
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
