3. You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. you drop a ball from a height of 2.31 m, and observe that it hits the floor 0.549 s after you drop it. In this case you suspect you are in deep space, far from any planet or star, and that your rocket is accelerating due to the push of its own engines under the floor. In this case, what must the acceleration of your rocket be? 15.3 m/s^2 7.7 m/s^2 11.5 m/s^2 27.5 m/s^2
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.
