Question
A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward with a constant acceleration of 56.0 m/s2, until the fuel is used up after 12.40 s. What is the speed of the rocket at that moment? (Neglect air resistance.)
From the time the fuel runs out, how long does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum height? (Use g = 9.8 m/s2)______
What is the speed of the rocket when it hits the ground?________
Expert Solution

Introduction
In this problem,
- Until the fuel is used up, in upward motion, the acceleration due to fuel (thrust) acts in the direction of motion of rocket while gravity acts opposite to it
- As all fuel is used up, the rocket follows projectile motion
- As rocket reaches maximum height, it falls towards earth with free fall motion.

- You launch a model rocket from ground level. It moves directly upward with a constant acceleration of 83.5 m/s2 for 1.10 seconds, at which point it runs out of fuel. Assuming air resistance on the rocket is negligible, what is the maximum altitude (above the ground) achieved by the rocket?______marrow_forwardThe acceleration of a bus is given by a, (t) = at, where a = 1.25 m/s³ is a constant. ▾ Part A If the bus's velocity at time ₁1.15 s is 4.90 m/s, what is its velocity at time t₂ = 2.20 s?

- A driver is driving uphill. He maintained his throttle, causing his car to constantly decelerate as it is coming up the hill. The road going up the hill is 217 m long and it took him 8.8 seconds to get to the top of the hill. His speed has reduced to 22 m/s at that point. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)? Hint: the initial position of the car can be set at the origin.arrow_forwardA small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has traveled 6.60 m to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/s.
