An object is descending toward the Planet X's surface (disregard air resistance). Its height is given by the equation y(t) = b-ct+dt^2, where b = 800 m is the initial height of the object above the Planet X's surface, c = 60.0 m/s, and d=1.05 m/s^2. What is the initial velocity of the lander when t=0? * 3 sig fig Your answer
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.
