A small rocket with a booster blasts off and heads straight upward. When at a height of 6.0 km and velocity of 250.0 m/s, it releases its booster. (a) What are the position and velocity of the booster at the moment it is released? (b) How long will it take for the velocity of the booster to become zero? (C) How high above the ground is the booster at the moment its velocity becomes zero? Show all relevant working.

A paperclip falls to the ground for 8.36 seconds. What is the speed of the paperclip just before it hits the ground? You can assume no air resistance. Round to 1 decimal. Imagine a ball that is pushed off a desk completely horizontal and falls 9.74 m down to the floor. If it landed 8.56 m away from the edge of the desk, how fast was it moving in the horizontal direction just before it hit the ground? Round to 1 decimal.
A plane flying at 78.2 m/s [W32°S] takes 42 seconds to change its velocity to 78.2 m/s [S32°E]. a) Solve for the change in velocity of the plane algebraically, resolving vectors into their x- and y-components. b) What was the average acceleration of the plane over this time interval? c) Explain why the speed of the plane didn't change and yet the plane underwent acceleration. Please label sketches with events as well as GRASS and explanations to show your work. Please label triangle sides. Remember to have the magnitude rounded to a reasonable number of sig figs, the unit and the direction (if needed) in your answers.
A basketball (a hollow sphere) starts at rest and rolls down a roof. It rolls 4m before leaving the 30 degree roof. a) What is the speed of the ball when it leaves the rooftop? b) If the roof ledge is 5m high, how far away does the ball land from the house? (assume v= 3m/s if you could not solve part a)
A ball is suspended from a light 1.3 m string . The string makes an angle of 24 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?
Problem 1: An object is launched off the top of a 45-m tall building with velocity of 70.9 m/s in the horizontal direction (no angle with respect to the horizontal). Pai. (a) In the space below, explain how you would find the time that the object is in the air. (Type the equation(s) you would use and the variable(s) you would solve for. Describe any other important steps. Do not show calculations or the numeric answer.)
I need some help with finding the velocity in section 1.1, and also solving 1.2. I believe the projection angle is 45 degrees. Thanks!
The same projectile experiment was conducted as you did in class. A racquet ball rolls down a track, leaves the track at an initial height of 0.961m above floor, with an exit speed Vexit 1.40m/s at an angle exit 7.46°. The landing spot was repeatedly measured for ten times, and the racquet ball's horizontal range data is provided below. Data run = Landing spot (m) 1 2 0.585 0.590 3 4 0.595 0.590 5 6 0.585 0.580 7 0.580 8 = 9 10 0.585 0.580 0.575
You are jumping on a trampoline. Curious about how fast you are moving just as you liftoff the surface of the trampoline, you decide to make some measurements. You find ittakes your feet 1.5 s to get to their peak height above the trampoline surface. How fastwere you going as you left the surface of the trampoline? Assume negligible airresistance. Show your reasoning and all work.
Disregard the part about 3.37. Refer to the note at the bottom of the question for v1 and v2 values. Help on part B please

Hi, I have one more follow-up question regarding a similar problem where I need to find the height: In a rollercoaster ride a passenger car at the top of the first hill is travelling at 3.5 m/s. The carthen descends on rails to the bottom of the slope and then goes up the second hill where the speed is 10 m/s. Find the difference in height between the first and second hill. (Result 4.47m) Attached is the formula I tried to use, however, I get a different result so I am definitely doing something wrong. Online I didn't find a similar problem so I am asking here as a last chance. Can you help?
I need part B answered in this question.
