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?

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 scientist tried to launch an experimental rocket in vertical direction. The tracking device of the rocket shows the flight height is at 75 ft when its power shut down. The failure of the parachute to deploy makes the rocket fell freely to the ground after 20 seconds. Determine: (a) the velocity of the rocket when the powered flight shutdown (b) the maximum height reached by the rocket.
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…
