5. A pollution-sampling rocket is launched straight upward with rockets providing a constant acceleration of 12 m/s² for the first 1,000 m of flight. At that point the rocket motors cut off and the rocket itself is in free fall. Ignore air resistance. a). What is the rocket's speed when the engines cut off? b) What is the maximum altitude reached by this rocket? c) What is the time it takes to get to its maximum altitude?
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.
