A stone is thrown vertically upwards from the top of a building 50 m tall with an initial velocity of 20.0 ms-1 . If the stone just misses the edge of the roof on its return, determine (a) The time is taken the stone to get to its maximum height. (b) The maximum height reached by the stone (c) The time at which the stone return to the point where it was thrown (d) The velocity of the stone at this instance (e) The velocity and position of the stone at t = 5 s.
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.
