a) The velocity is zero at point L.
b) The velocity at the maximum height depends on the initial acceleration of the rocket.
c) In section KL, the acceleration of the rocket has the opposite sign of the acceleration in section LM.
d) In section KL, the acceleration is positive.
e) The area of triangle JKL is exactly equal to the area of triangle NML, because the distance that the rocket rises is equal to the distance that it falls.

- A particle P starts at time t = 0 s at the polar position x = -15 m y = 8 m. The velocity of the particle is written in the polar basis associated with its current position, and is: v = 2ê, m/s. If we have final and final, then we can find final and final with: X final symbolic expression X = ? m, yfinal ? Give your answers in symbolic form. You should use the scalar variables r_f and theta_f. Functions are available like sin(), cos(), atan2(), sqrt(), and log(), as well as the mathematical constants pi and e. The regular arithmetic operators are +, -, *, and /, and x^y means x to the power of y. 5t + k would translate to 5*t+k. Now, find the final Cartesian position of the particle at time t = 2. symbolic expression m, y = ? m marrow_forwardd) the maximum magnitude of the acceleration (m/s2)arrow_forwardSlowing Down: The speed of an object moving through a viscous fluid is given by u (t) = A • e-bl(a) If the numerical value of A (in Sl units) is 8.40 and the numerical value of b (in Sl units) is 1.12. then what is the initial acceleration of the particle, at time + = 0?(b) How far does the particle move in the first 4.00 s?You may ignore gravity.

- Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at vOi = 5.80 m/s as in Figure a, shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of ? = 34.0° with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of ? = 56.0° with this axis as in Figure b. Determine the speed of each disk after the collision.arrow_forwardA particle travels along the +x axis. At t = 0 s, its velocity is 10.0 m/s and its acceleration is -2.0 m/s^2. Question A: Which of the following statements is true? 1. The particle will slow down and eventually come to a complete stop 2. The particle cannot have a negative acceleration and be moving in the positive x direction 3. The particle will continue to move in the positive x direction, slowing but never coming to a complete stop. 4. The particle will slow down, stop momentarily, then speed up in the x- direction. Question B: At what time will the particle be stopped? 1. t = 5.0 s 2. t = -5.0 s 3. t = -0.2 s 4.

At the end of this interval it has reached a velocity of 11.0 m/s. (a) If its original velocity is 5.50 m/s, what is its displacement (in m) during the time interval?

Can you solve this equation for the displacement? m (b) What is the distance it travels (in m) during this interval? X How are displacement and distance different? Does the direction of the velocity change over the time interval in this scenario? Knowing this, can you relate the displacement to the distance? m (c) A second body moves in one dimension, also with a constant acceleration of 3.15 m/s2, but over some different time interval. Like the first body, its velocity at the end of the interval is 11.0 m/s, but its initial velocity is -5.50 m/s. What is the displacement (in m) of the second body over…arrow_forward
