Zeke pitched a baseball and left his hand at speed of 55.0 m/s. If he was in contact with the ball over a distance of 1.50 m and produced a constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball? (b) If Zeke transforms into Beast Titan, his contact with the ball becomes 15 m. What is the speed of the ball upon leaving his hand? Assume the same acceleration with (a).
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.
