A rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically upward with an acceleration of 6.0 m/s2. At an altitude of 1.20 km, the rocket engine cuts off. Air friction is negligible in this problem. How fast is the rocket traveling when the engine cuts off?

You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 35.3 ° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.115. She coasts for a distance of 18.5 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 4.32 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands?
A block of mass 3000 g is attached to a spring whose spring constant is k = 8 N/m. The block slides on an incline with e = 37°. The block starts at rest with the spring unstretched before sliding down a distance of 60 cm down the incline. Assume that uk = 0.20. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 What is the velocity (m/s) of the block as soon as it slides 60 cm down the incline?
A woman at an airport is rolling her suitcase (mass = 20 kg) at an initial velocity of 1 m/s by pulling on a strap at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with a force of 33 N. The woman starts to speed up when she realizes that she is late for her flight. She pulls the suitcase over a distance of 50 m as she walks to her gate. What is the speed of the suitcase when she reaches her gate? (You can neglect friction in this problem. Give your answer in m/s.)
