A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of vox = 6920 m/s along the +x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 844 s. One engine gives the spacecraft an acceleration in the +x direction of ax = 2.29 m/s², while the other gives it an acceleration in the ty direction of ay = 7.89 m/s². At the end of the firing, what is a) vx and b) vy?

OK, this is the last time for one of these crazy adventures. THIS time, though, there is a window in the floor, and you can see that you re in a rocket which has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 7.11 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 1.08 m, it hits the floor 0.213 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 49.0 m/s^2 60.8 m/s^2 40.5 m/s^2 57.4 m/s^2

How would I begin to solve this problem? In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for a rocket's position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t) = (RE3/2 + 3*(g/2)1/2 REt)2/3 where RE is the radius of the Earth (6.38 ✕ 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface (9.81 m/s2). (a) Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). (Use the following as necessary: g, RE, and t. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)
Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a level beach and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about vo = 33.7 m/s. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball, with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory, and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after t₁ = 0.710 s the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball hit the ground x = 123 m from the base of the cliff. How high above the beach was the ball when it was thrown? initial height: X 1₁ m
We track the particle’s trajectory between t = 0 to t = T. During this interval, how much time transpires in the particle’s non-inertial reference frame?
A student standing on a cliff throws a stone from a vertical height of d=8.0m above the level ground with velocity v0=24m/s at an angle θ=15∘�=15∘ below the horizontal, as shown. It moves without air resistance. With what speed in m/s does the stone hit the ground?
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 24.6 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.201 m/s² in the +x direction. After 47.8 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction. (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units +
(1 point) Find the velocity v(t) and speed ||v(t)|| of a particle whose motion is described by z = 5t2 - 40t + 80, y = 6t³-36t², z=5 v(t)- ||v(1)||
On a spacecraft, two engines are turned on for 908 s at a moment when the velocity of the craft has x and y components of v0x = 5150 m/s and v0y = 6290 m/s. While the engines are firing, the craft undergoes a displacement that has components of x = 2.85 x 106 m and y = 4.72 x 106 m. Find the (a) x and (b) y components of the craft's acceleration
Alice, Bruce, Chad, and Dave are enjoying a trip to the amusement park. Alice rides the Ferris Wheel (47.75 meters in diameter), but Bruce decides simply to watch. Chad and Dave are riding the monorail that passes along a straight track just below the Ferris Wheel's bottom. The monorail moves at a constant speed of 9 m/s. The first time that Alice passes Bruce (who is standing right next to Alice but on the ground), Alice and Bruce look at their watches, and Chad (who happens to be passing under Alice's seat on the Ferris Wheel at that instant) looks at the clock on her seat's fancy electronic display. This is event A. When Alice passes Bruce the next time (call this event B), Alice and Bruce again look at their watches, and Dave, who happens to be passing under Alice's position at just that instant, looks at his display (which we assume is synchronized with Chad's display). Everyone determines the time interval that they measure between these momentous events (Chad and Dave by…
