In the lab you explored how a lioness can catch a gazelle despite the fact that the lioness' top speed is slower than gazelle's, and gazelle has a distance head start during the chase. The graph below uses the same approximations you did in the lab and assumes that the lioness and the gazelle have constant accelerations until the they reach their top speeds. 30 Velocity, mis 20 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 Time,s If lioness gave up an unsuccessful chase at the moment she reached her top speed, what was the minimal separation between the gazelle and the lioness at the start of the chase. Use the information given to you on the graph above for all parameters you need to answer the question. Assume that the gazelle had a head start in distance, but no head start in time.
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.
