As a technical engineer in the army, you are part of a team in charge of testing and commissioning a new tank recently purchased by the artillery Field testing has revealed the following information: 1) The tank moves from rest to a speed of 70 ??/ℎ? in 10 seconds. 2) Using the breaking system, the tank is brought to a complete stop from a speed of 70 ??/ℎ? in 5 seconds a) Find the average driving acceleration of the tank. b) Calculate the average breaking acceleration of the tank. c) For parts (a) and b above parts report your answers in US Customary Units (mile/hr) so that the information could be shared with experts from the US.
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.
