A cannonball is fired horizontally (launch angle (1) of 0°) from a height h above the ground, as in the image to the right. The launch velocity is vo, and we are only considering acceleration due to gravity. Show your work as you determine analytical (that is, symbolically in terms of variables and constants) equations for: (a) the time At before the cannonball hits the ground, in terms of h, vo, and the acceleration due to gravity the distance x that the object travels horizontally before hitting the ground, in terms of h, vo, and the acceleration due to gravity the launch velocity vo, in terms of x, h, and the acceleration due to gravity (b) (c)
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.
I am not sure how to start these problems as I am given very limited information and am told that I have everything I need to complete them. We are given these equations as well to use for the problem.
