3. A quarterback throws a football with initial velocity components Voy=10.0 m/s (upward) and Vox = 19.0 m/s (down the field). It is caught at the same height it is thrown from. a. How long does it take for the football to reach its maximum height? b. How high is this point above where the ball was released? c. How much time, after it was thrown, elapses before the ball is caught? Compare this time to what you found in part (a). d. How far away from the quarterback is the ball when it is caught?
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.
Given:
The vertical component of the initial velocity is 10 m/s.
The horizontal component of the intial velocity is 19 m/s.
