A 1500 kg rocket is tobe launched with an initial upwardspeed of 50.0 m/s. In order to assistits engines, the engineers will startit from rest on a ramp that rises 53°above the horizontal (Fig.).At the bottom, the ramp turnsupward and launches the rocketvertically. The engines provide aconstant forward thrust of 2000 N,and friction with the ramp surfaceis a constant 500 N. How far fromthe base of the ramp should therocket start, as measured along the surface of the ramp?

Two horizontal forces, P and Q, are acting on a block that is placed on a table. We know that P = (-2.10î + 4.25k N but the magnitude and direction of Q are unknown. The block moves along the table. Assume there is no friction between the object and the table. Here the mass of the block is 5.10 kg.
