A group of students launches a model rocket in the vertical direction. Based on the tracking data, they determine that the altitude of the rocket was 89.6 ft at the end of the powered portion of the flight and that the rocket landed 16 seconds later. Knowing that the descent parachute failed to deploy so that the rocket fell freely to the ground after reaching its maximum altitude and assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft per second square, determine the maximum altitude reached by the rocket?

Gayle runs at a speed of 4.10 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 46.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.25 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.
The 18 000-kg F-35B uses thrust vectoring to allow it to take off vertically. In one maneuver, the pilot reaches the top of her static hover at 200 m. The combined thrust and lift force on the airplane applied at the end of the static hover can be expressed as F = (44t + 2500t2)i + (250t2 + t + 176 580)j, where F and t are expressed in newtons and seconds, respectively. Determine how long it will take the airplane to reach a cruising speed of 1000 km/hr (cruising speed is defined to be in the x-direction only).

A spacecraft is placed into a polar orbit about the planet Mars at an altitude of 380 km. Knowing that the mean density of Mars is 3.94 Mg/m^3 and that the radius of Mars is 3397 km, determine the time t required for the spacecraft to complete one full revolution about Mars and the velocity with which the the spacecraft describes its orbit.
A space shuttle is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 103 mi. Calculate the absolute value of g at this altitude and determine the corresponding weight of a shuttle passenger who weighs 165 lb when standing on the surface of the earth at a latitude of 45°. Are the terms "zero-g" and "weightless," which are sometimes used to describe conditions aboard orbiting spacecraft, correct in the absolute sense? Answers: ft/sec² Sh lb Wh= i
During an Olympic 100-m sprint race, Usain Bolt, the world record holder in that race, quickly accelerates to his top speed of 12.4 m/s. Analysis of his technique has shown that each of his feet make contact with the ground for 0.0800 s, exerting a force of magnitude 2.80 x 10° N during this contact. This allows the 94.0 kg Bolt to leap forward and remain airborne for 0.120 s until the next foot touches the ground. (Ignore air resistance.) (a) What are the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force (in N) Bolt's feet exert on the ground? (Round your answers to at least three significant figures.) horizontal N vertical (b) Assuming that the sprinter accelerates at a constant rate while his feet are in contact with the ground and does not slow down when he is airborne, by what amount does Bolt's horizontal speed (in m/s) increase with each step? (Round your answer to at least three significant figures.) m/s (c) Assuming that the sprinter's speed increases at a…
