When the stone is moving upward in the sky, its acceleration is: a) zero b) pointed upwards c) changes direction from upwards to downwards d) pointed downwards
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.
A stone is thrown vertically upwards, reaches its highest point, and returns to the ground. When the stone is moving upward in the sky, its acceleration is:
a) zero
b) pointed upwards
c) changes direction from upwards to downwards
