On the basketball court, you throw a ball straight down to the ground. The ball leaves your hand from a height of 65.0 cm and with a speed of 11.0 m/s. How much time does the ball take to hit the ground?
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.
On the basketball court, you throw a ball straight down to the ground. The ball leaves your
hand from a height of 65.0 cm and with a speed of 11.0 m/s. How much time does the ball take to
hit the ground?
height from ball leaves h = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m
initial speed of ball u =11.0 m/s
