you and your best friend are away on vacation. Your hotel room is on the 5th floor. you and your friends decide to practice your aiming skills by dropping water balloons from the balcony of your hotel room. You drop a balloon from the ledge and it accelerates uniformly to the ground. a. If the balcony is 25m above the ground, how long does it take the balloon to reach the ground? b. What is the final velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground? c. Draw a representative position vs time graph for the motion described above and describe the motion.

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.
