ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 5 m/s, from an initial height of 35m. How long until it returns to its initial height? What will its velocity be at this moment?
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.
A ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 5 m/s,
from an initial height of 35m.
How long until it returns to its initial height?
What will its velocity be at this moment?
Let the point from where the ball is thrown be the origin. All directions above it is taken as positive and directions below it as negative
