Glob the alien is playing basketball. Glob is odd, so he likes doing physics while he plays. Glob throws the ball with an initial speed of 11.0m/s towards the hoop. The ball leaves glob's paws at a height of 1.70m above the floor. The ball travels through the air and hits the backboard at a height of 3.50m. If glob knows the ball's velocity is horizontal at the instant it hits the backboard, help glob figure out the following; a) The angle that glob throws the ball (theta) b) The distance between glob and the backboard (x) c) The speed of glob's ball as it hits the backboard (final velocity) Ꮎ 1.7m x 3.5m
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.
