Two balls are held at the same height. At the same time, ball A is dropped straight down, while ball B is thrown horizontally at 5 m/s. Question A: Which ball hits the ground first? 1. Ball A 2. Ball B 3. They hit at the same time 4. Not enough information Question B: Which ball has the fastest speed when it hits the ground? 1. Ball A 2. Ball B 3. They have the same speed 4. Not enough information Please answer questions A and B
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.
