A student flips a coin to decide whether to study or to play valorant all day. The coin is flipped vertically straight up What is the velocity of a coin at the maximum height? What is the acceleration of the coin at the maximum height? If the coin reached a maximum height of 1m from where it was released, what was its initial velocity? If the student caught the coin at the same height it was released, how long was the coin in the air? What is the final velocity of the coin just before it was caught?
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.
