Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

starting from rest, a rocket is launched upward (a=4.20 m/s^2). At t=6.85 sec, the motor shuts off the rocket continues to coast upward until it reached its highest point. At highest point, a chute was introduced so that the rocket will fall at a constant speed of 0.935 m/s until it reaches the ground. Determine the maximum height, h, in meters
Ball bearing manufacturing is quite an art! In order to make perfect spherical balls, the manufacturers let molten metal droplets to fall inside a tall tower (i.e. the shot tower) to solidify as they fall. If a ball bearing needs 2.75 seconds to solidify enough for impact, how tall (in m) must the tower be? Use 9.80 m/s2 for the local acceleration due to gravity and assume no significant air resistance.

A missile silo is used to launch military rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Determine the velocity of the rocket (in m/s) at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time (in s). (For the velocity, indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) velocity at end of engine V = 92.22 Check your kinematic equation relating vo, V1, ay, and AYo → 1 (where velocity of rocket as it clears the silo, v, = velocity of the rocket at…
