You throw a ball straight up with an initial velocity of 14.6 m/s. It passes a tree branch on the way up at a height of 5.10 m. a. How much additional time will pass before the ball passes the tree branch on the way back down.? b. How long after the ball is thrown does it pass the branch the first time?
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. How much additional time will pass before the ball passes the tree branch on the way back down.?
b. How long after the ball is thrown does it pass the branch the first time?
Note: The upward direction is considered as positive and downward direction as negative
