As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height before falling to the bottom of the cliff. You timed the event and it took 2.00 s to reach the top of its trajectory, and an additional 10.0 s to reach the bottom of the cliff. Given that the gravitational acceleration is about 4.00 m/s?, how high is the cliff? (For simplicity, let's assume that the astronaut tossed the ball from the surface of the cliff) Pick the correct answer 288 m 200 m O 8 m O 128 m O 192 m

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.
