cheetah can accelerate from rest to 23.5 m/s in 2.00 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant over the time interval. A) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the cheetah? in M/S^2 B) What is the distance traveled by the cheetah in these 2.00 s? in M C) A runner can accelerate from rest to 7.90 m/s in the same time, 2.00 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the runner? in m
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.
