A student, standing on the roof of a 30.0m tall dorm building releases from rest a 200-grams apple to the ground. Another student in her bedroom, sees the apple past her window and notices that the apple strikes the ground after 0.600 s. 1, What is the total time of flight of the apple (from the time it was released, until it hits the ground)? 2. what is the speed of the apple just before it hits the ground? 3. What is the height of the student’s window?
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.
