Explain how to solve the following question in words. Then, provide the complete solution based on your description above. If an object is dropped from an 80-meter-high window, its height y above the ground at time t is given by the formula y = f(t) = 80 − 4.9t^2. Find the average velocity of the object between (a) t = 1 sec and t = 1.5 sec.
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.
