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, fo…

To determine

To Describe:The changes in the velocity and acceleration of the ball.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A projectile motion is defined as the motion under gravity (only).

When a ball is thrown upwards, its velocity decreases at a constant rate (gravitational acceleration) and reaches to zero at the maximum height. Then, the velocity starts increasing again as the ball falls back.

Acceleration due to gravity always acts downwards. The acceleration of the ball remains constant through out the motion.
