In order to find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on some planet, NASA and the CSA invented a simple device which launches a small metal ball straight up with an initial speed of 14.25 m/s. The device then times how long the metal ball is in the air before returning to the device. If on the planet, the ball takes 3.4 s to return to the device (and we neglect air resistance) what is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Your Answer: Answer units
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.
