Activity 1. Answer the given problem. A person throws a ball upward into the air with an initial velocity of 15 m/s with an acceleration of -9.8 m/s². Calculate (1) how high it goes, (2) how long the ball is in the air, (3) how much time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height, (4) the yelocity of the ball when it returns to the thrower's hand.
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.
