2) A rocket is launched vertically up from the ground. Assume that the gravita- tional acceleration of the Earth is uniform, g = 9.8 ms2. The rocket ejects fuel at an exponential rate, m = moe-kt, and the total time it takes to exhaust all the available fuel is r. The exhaust speed vex is constant. Find the maximum altitude, zmax, that the rocket can reach. [Answer: Zmax kut (kvex - 9).)

Please answer the following, thank you!
A bicyclist is at the bottom of a hill with a speed of 30 ft/s. After traveling 600 ft on the road, she reaches the top of the hill with a speed of 15 ft/s. Her total acceleration at the top of the hill is 1.3 ft/s^2. Assuming her acceleration along the road is constant. -What is the radius of curvature for the top of the hill?
2. You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. you drop a ball from a height of 1.22 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.349 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 20.0 m/s^2 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2 30.0 m/s^2
A record is played by spinning the record so that a circular groove in the vinyl slides under the stylus. Suppose that a record turns at a rate of 33 1/3 rev. min, the groove being played is at a radius of 10.0 cm and the bumps in the grove are uniformly separated by 1.75 mm. At what rate (hits per second) do the bumps hit the stylus? Enter units as hertz (Hz). You will need v=rω ω is in rad/s and 1rev = 2 pi rad.
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.)

5. An object is sent straight up into the air with a velocity of 60feet from a ramp located 15 feet above ground. Find the velocity function of the object, v(t) - use the facts that the acceleration a(t)=v (t) and that the gravitational acceleration is 32 feet
4. Assume a 5-m ladder sliding down a wall. The variable h is the height of the ladder’s top at time t, and x isthe distance from the wall to the ladder’s bottom. Assume the bottom slides away from the wall at a rate of0.8m/s. Find the velocity of the top of the latter at t = 2s if the bottom is 1.5m from the wall at t = 0s.
