Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).
Answer:
(a) v = 5.42m/s
(b) vo = 4.64m/s
(c) a = 2874.28m/s^2
(d) Δy = 5.11*10^-3m
Explanation:
(a) The velocity of the ball before it hits the floor is given by:
(1)
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
h: height where the ball falls down = 1.50m

The speed of the ball is 5.42m/s
(b) To calculate the velocity of the ball, after it leaves the floor, you use the information of the maximum height reached by the ball after it leaves the floor.
You use the following formula:
(2)
vo: velocity of the ball where it starts its motion upward
You solve for vo and replace the values of the parameters:

The velocity of the ball is 4.64m/s
(c) The acceleration is given by:


The acceleration of the ball is 2874.28/s^2
(d) The compression of the ball is:

THe compression of the ball when it strikes the floor is 5.11*10^-3m
