A certain freely falling object, released from rest, requires 2.00 s to travel the last 27.5 m before it hits the ground. (a) Find the velocity of the object when it is 27.5 m above the ground. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Let the positive direction be upward.) m/s (b) Find the total distance the object travels during the fall.
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.
