Car A is travelling on a north-bound lane of a two-lane straight highway with an initial velocity of 20 km/hr. Car A is accelerating at a rate of 1 m/s^2. At the same instance car B is travelling the same highway but on the south-bound lane (opposite to the direction of car A).
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.
Car A is travelling on a north-bound lane of a two-lane straight highway with an initial velocity of 20 km/hr. Car A is accelerating at a rate of 1 m/s^2. At the same instance car B is travelling the same highway but on the south-bound lane (opposite to the direction of car A). Car B starts from 30 km/hr and is accelerating at a rate of 0.50 m/s^2. Initially the two cars are (800+180) meters apart.
How far from the initial position of car A is the point where the two cars pass by each other? Express your answer in unit of meter.
