Max throws an apple off the side of a building with a velocity of 30.3 m/s on the horizontal. A few moments later, the apple has a velocity of 37.8 m/s at 36.6 degrees below the horizontal. What is the change in velocit
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.
Max throws an apple off the side of a building with a velocity of 30.3 m/s on the horizontal. A few moments later, the apple has a velocity of 37.8 m/s at 36.6 degrees below the horizontal. What is the change in velocity?
Initial velocity of the apple = 30.3 i^
Final velocity= 37.8 cos(36.6°) i^- 37.8 sin(36.6°) j^=29.12i^ - 22.5 j^
