A test rocket is launched by accelerating it along a 200.0m incline at 1.85m/s2 starting from rest at point A. The incline rises at 35.0o above the horizontal, and at the instant the rocket leaves it, it's engines turn off, and it is subject only to gravity (air resistance can be ignored) a) find the maximum height above the ground that the rocket reaches in m b) find the greatest horizontal range of the rocketbeyond point A
6. Lebron throw an apple vertically upward from the roof of a tall building. The apple leaves his hand at a point even with the roof railing with an upward speed of 15.0 m/s; the apple is then in free fall. (Ignore air resistance.) On its way back down, it just misses the railing. Find (a) the apple's position and velocity 1.00 s and 4.00 s after leaving his hand; (b) the apple's velocity when it is 5.00 m above the railing; (c) the maximum height reached.

The motion of a bicycle rider moving in a straight line is shown in the graph below.At what time interval do the acceleration points opposite relative to the velocity vector?
A car moving in a straight line accelerates from rest at a rate of 6.00 m/s², for 5.00 s. It then accelerates at a constant rate of -3.50 m/s², until it stops. The displacement during this time is m.
Based on the diagram below, what is the initial velocity of the object if it takes 7.301s to go from position A to position B and it accelerates at a constant -2.274m/s2. The distance between A/B is shown below. Everything in this problem is happening vertically.
