A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.90 m/s2m/s2. At 30.0 ss after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall. What is the height of the rocket when the engine fails? Find the magnitude of the rocket's velocity at its highest point. Find the magnitude of the rocket's acceleration at its highest point. How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?
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.
