*59. ssm Consult Multiple-Concept Example 8 to explore a model for solving this problem. (a) Just for fun, a person jumps from rest from the top of a tall cliff overlooking a lake. In falling through a distance H, she acquires a certain speed v. Assuming free-fall conditions, how much farther must she fall in order to acquire a speed of 2v? Express your answer in terms of H. (b) Would the answer to part (a) be different if this event were to occur on another planet where the acceleration due to gravity had a value other than 9.80 m/s2? Explain.
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.
