A rocket rises straight up from rest with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 at which point its engine fails(at 50m). 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 t

3.) You throw a ball straight up. The ball leaves your hand at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s (~45 mph). Ignore air resistance and use g = 10.0 m/s2 to answer the following questions. You can use a spreadsheet but show your sample calculations. 3a.) Calculate the height, y(t), and velocity, vy(t), at 0.50 second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Show your results in a table and put the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m). 3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50 second intervals. Label the height and the speed at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height. Include the velocity vectors for each time and location of the ball. 3c.) Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground and the final velocity of the ball just as it hits the ground. Include this velocity vector in your diagram.
A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.5 m/s² while moving down on a 9 m long inclined plane. 10) When the ball reaches the bottom of this plane, it continues moving with constant velocity along 12 m long horizontal path. Then, it moves up the second inclined surface for 10s and it stops. a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first inclined plane? b) How long does it take for the ball to reach the bottom of the second inclined plane? c) What is the acceleration in the second inclined plane? d) What is the speed of the ball at the point 8 m away from the bottom of the second inclined plane? Answers: a) v = 3 m/s, b) t = 10 s, c) a = -0.3 m/s² (parallel to that surface and in the downward direction), d) v =2.05 m/s

3) You throw a ball straight up. The ball leaves your hand at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s (~45 mph). Ignore air resistance and use g = 10.0 m/s2. You can use a spreadsheet but show a sample calculation for the velocity and the position at t = 1.5 s. 3a.) Calculate and make a table of the height, y(t), and y-velocity, vy(t), at 0.50-second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Your table should have the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m) Remember to add the ysubscripts when the motion is along the y-axis. 3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50-second intervals. Label the time, y-coordinate,and the velocity at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height.Include the instantaneous velocity vectors at each time and location of the ball. 3c.)

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward with constant net acceleration, B, from time t=0 until t=T1, at which time the fuel is exhausted. Neglect air resistance and assume that the rocket stays close enough to the ground that the acceleration due to gravity (after the rocket engine stops) is given by g. a) Find the maximum height, H, that the rocket reaches above the ground. b) If the rocket's net acceleration, B, is equal to 1.0g, find an expression for the total time, Tmax, that the rocket is in the air (i.e. from liftoff until it hits the ground) in terms of T1. You do not need to solve your expression numerically but simplify it as much as possible.
