A stone is thrown at an angle of 30 ° above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of 12 m/s. A stop watch measures the stone’s trajectory time from top of cliff to bottom to be 5.6 s. What is the height of the cliff? ( g = 9.8 m/s 2 and air resistance is negligible) a.154 m b.58 m c.120 m d.197 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.
