A gannet is a seabird that fishes by diving from a great height. If a gannet hits the water at 32 m/s (which they do), i) Make a sketch of the problem and label all given and unknowns ii) Write the equations that you need to solve the problem iii) what height did it dive from?
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.
#2. A gannet is a seabird that fishes by diving from a great height. If a gannet hits the water at 32 m/s (which they do),
i) Make a sketch of the problem and label all given and unknowns
ii) Write the equations that you need to solve the problem
iii) what height did it dive from?
iv) Assume that the gannet was motionless beforestarting its dive.
