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.
Your frined drops a tennis ball from her window (66.1 m above the ground). One second later you throw a rock(as a projectile) from the ground. The rock and the ball collide at x=32.6m, y=22 m measured from where the rock was thrown.
a.) Determine how many second after the tennis ball is released the collision takes place.
b.) Determine the velocity of the tennis ball at the time of the collision with the rock.
c.) Determine the initial velocity of the rock in its component form.
