A motorcyclist’s stunt requires him to cross a ravine. He starts from a ramp on the left which is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees. His motorcycle is going at 30m/s when he leaves the ramp. He makes it just across and lands on the opposite side of the ravine on a ramp that has a height 4 meters below the first. How wide is the ravine?
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.
