A ball is shot vertically into the air at a velocity of 56 m/s. After 6 seconds, another ball is shot vertically into the air. If the balls meet 122 m from the ground, determine the relative velocity (in m/s) of the first ball to the second ball 9 seconds after the first ball was shot into the air. Use 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. Round off your final answer to five decimal places. Add your answer
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.
