A basketball player standing under the hoop shoots the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v0 = 2.25 m/s from 2.5 m above the ground. What is the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point the basketball will achieve? On his first attempt the ball doesnt make it hight enought to reach the hoop. If the hoop is at 3.5 m above the ground, what is the minimun velocity (in m/s) with which he must launch his second attempt to reach the hoop?
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.
