Chapter 2, Problem 2.76P
A Multistage Rocket. In the first stage of a two-stage rocket, the rocket is fired from the launch pad starting from rest but with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 upward. At 25.0 s after launch, the second stage fires for 10.0 s. which boosts the rocket’s velocity to 132.5 m/s upward at 35.0 s after launch. This firing uses up all of the fuel, however, so after the second stage has finished firing, the only force acting on the rocket is gravity. Ignore air resistance, (a) Find the maximum height that the stage-two rocket reaches above the launch pad. (b) Mow much time after the end of the stage-two firing will it take for the rocket to fall back to the launch pad? (c) How fast will the stage-two rocket be moving just as it reaches the launch pad?

A springbok is an antelope found in southern Africa that gets its name from its remarkable jumping ability. When a springbok is startled, it will leap straight up into the air—a maneuver called a “pronk.” A particular springbok goes into a crouch to perform a pronk. It then extends its legs forcefully,accelerating at 35 m/s2 for 0.70 m as its legs straighten. Legs fully extended, it leaves the ground and rises into the air.a. At what speed does the springbok leave the ground?b. How high does it go?
We are doing this for physics homework, and I am so lost right now. Can I get some step by step or explanation as how to do this please?

An Osprey can fly horizontally (not diving) at a maximum speed of 70.0 km/hr. The bird takes off from rest at the edge of a cliff, heading east, and accelerates at a rate of 1.21 m/s2. The osprey can decelerate at higher rate of 2.43 m/s2. The Osprey can reach top speeds of about 84 mph. When doing so, it does not flap its wings. Rather, it relies on its gravitational force to accelerate it downwards.
a. Assuming that it starts from rest, and assuming that drag forces are slim, how long will it take for the osprey to reach its top speed?
b. How far does it travel during this time?
c. Near the top speed, drag forces become important, and in fact the terminal velocity is determined by the drag force. Assuming that the osprey's body can be modeled as a cylinder, with its cross-sectional area equal to that of a circle with radius of 10 cm, what is the coefficient of drag C for a hawk?

- A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA person on a trampoline bounces straight upward with an initial speed of 4. 50 m/s. Take up as the positive y direction. What is the person's velocity when she returns to her initial height? -4. 50 m/s O-4. 50 ŷ m/s O+4. 50 m/s O+4. 50 ŷ m/sarrow_forwardA lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.arrow_forward
- You throw a ball straight up from a roof of a building. The ball leaves your hand at a point even with the roof railing with an upward speed of 15m/s. The ball is then in free fall. On its way back down, it just misses the railing. After 6.0s from release, the ball then hits the ground. What is the velocity of the ball upon impact on the ground? 198.5m/s -198.5m/s 352m/s -352m/sarrow_forwardTwo children are playing on a 151-m-tall bridge. One child drops a rock (initial velocity zero) at t = 0. The other waits 1.1 s and then throws a rock downward with an initial speed Vo. If the two rocks hit the ground at the same time, what is vo? m/sarrow_forwardYou wake up in a room with no windows. You drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.242 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rockets acceleration to be? 102.6 m/s^2 51.3 m/s^2 70.9 m/s^2 61.1 m/s^2arrow_forward

Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.0 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it. What was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the floor?arrow_forwardA pole vaulter is momentarily motionless as he clears the bar, which is set 4.2 m above the ground. He then falls onto a thick cushion. The top of the cushion is 80 cm above the ground, and it compresses by 50 cm as the pole vaulter comes to rest. What is his acceleration as he comes to rest on the cushion?arrow_forward
- I had a dream last night that I was chased by my teddy bear. In my dream, I was sleepwalking at a constant velocity of 60ft/sec. At exactly 4:00 am I noticed my teddy bear standing 1000 feet behind me. At that instant I began to accelerate at 10 ft/sec/sec and the teddy bear began to accerlate after me at 12 ft/sec/sec. At the moment the bear caught up to me, I woke from my dream in a cold sweat. To the nearest second, What time was this?arrow_forwardDuring your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be launched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 980 m above the earth's surface. The rocket's engines give the rocket an upward acceleration so it moves with the acceleration of 16.0 m/s2 during the time T, that they fire. After the engines shut off, the rocket is in free fall. Ignore air resistance. What must be the value of T in order for the rocket to reach the required altitude?arrow_forwardA baseball player throws a baseball straight up into the air, in the following way: Starting from a height of 1.0 m above the ground, he accelerates the ball vertically with 30. m/s2 for 0.25 s, then the ball leaves his hand and flies straight up in free fall. Let’s ignore the air resistance. Draw a carefully labeled sketch of the situation. Calculate the velocity of the ball as it leaves the player’s hand. How high does the ball go relative to its initial position (yo=1.0 m)? Shows all work please.arrow_forward
