A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds. Assume the positive direction is upwards. Part A - What is the velocity of the ball when it reaches its highest point Part B - What is its velocity 0.70s before it reaches its highest point? Part C - What is the change in its velocity, v, during this 0.70s interval?
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.

Part A - What is the velocity of the ball when it reaches its highest point
Part B - What is its velocity 0.70s before it reaches its highest point?
Part C - What is the change in its velocity, v, during this 0.70s interval?
Part D - What is its velocity 0.70s after it reaches its highest point?
Part E - What is the change in velocity, v, during this 0.70s interval?
Part F - What is the change in velocity, v, during the 1.4s interval from 0.70s before the highest point is 0.70s after the highest point? (Caution: we are talking about velocity not speed)
Part G - What is the acceleration of the ball during any of these time interavals and at the moment the ball has zero velocity?
