A rocket rises straight up from rest with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 at which point its engine fails. For the rest of its flight it experiences only gravitational acceleration. 1) Make a diagram showing the rocket's initial conditions (height, time and velocity), the conditions of the rocket when its engine fails, the conditions of the rocket at the peak of its flight, and the conditions of the rocket when it has returned to the ground. 2) At the moment when the engine fails (50 m from the ground), what is the rocket's height? What is its velocity? 3) At the peak of its flight, what is its height? What is its velocity? How much time has elapsed since its launch? 4) When the rocket returns to the ground, how long has it bee
A rocket rises straight up from rest with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 at which point its engine fails. For the rest of its flight it experiences only gravitational acceleration.
1) Make a diagram showing the rocket's initial conditions (height, time and velocity), the conditions of the rocket when its engine fails, the conditions of the rocket at the peak of its flight,
and the conditions of the rocket when it has returned to the ground.
2) At the moment when the engine fails (50 m from the ground), what is the rocket's height? What is its velocity?
3) At the peak of its flight, what is its height? What is its velocity? How much time has elapsed
since its launch?
4) When the rocket returns to the ground, how long has it been in flight? How fast is it going?
