A PHYS 1510 student decides to take revenge on the awful Canadian Goose that has been chasing it all over the campus. The student ambushed the goose, jumping off a short wall to startle it. The student weighs 49.2kg. The wall is 1.47m tall. Initial speed was 1.767 m/s because the student pushed off when jumping. What was the student's speed when they reached the ground? (Include SI units)
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.
