An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the edge of a tall building. It just misses the edge on the way down and passes a point a distance 14.7 m below its starting point at a time 3.0 s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored. What is the initial speed of the egg as it leaves the thrower's hand? How high does the egg go beyond it's starting point?
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.
