8. A student performs a simple experiment to find the average acceleration of a falling object. He drops a baseball from a building and uses a string and meter stick to measure the height the ball was dropped. He uses a stopwatch to find an average time of fall for 3 trials from the same height and reports the following data: h = 5.25 ± 0.15 m, t = 1.14 ± 0.06 s. Use the equation a = 2h/(t^2) to determine the average acceleration and its uncertainty. * O A. 8.08 ± 0.1 m/s^2
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.
