A hot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant velocity of magnitude 5 m/s, releases a sandbag at an instant when the balloon is 40.0 m above the ground. After the sandbag is released, it is in free fall. How many seconds after its release does the bag strike the ground? * 2.86 s 2.90 s O 3.42 s 1.02 s
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.
