A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60 m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s². What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.) [ Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]

Previously submitted and the expert did not know the answer so they just answered that it will hit the ground. Please only take this question if you know how to answer it. Please. A student standing on a cliff throws a rock from a vertical height of d=8.0m above the level ground with velocity v0=17m/s at an angle θ=21∘ below the horizontal, as shown. (See attached photo.) It moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the rock. With what speed, in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?
A 0.54-kg ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s. What is the speed of the ball when it hastravelled three-quarters of the distance to its maximum height?
So this is the problem I am trying to figure out: A boy tosses a coin straight up to 2.2 m. Suppose the height when the coin leaves his hand is 1.3 m. What was the initial speed of the coin when it left his hand?
A roller coaster has speed of v0=6.2 m/s as it hits the peak of a h=31.5m dip. What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip , vin m/s
A roller-coaster goes over a 12 m tall hill then approaches a 30 m hill. What is the minimum velocity the roller-coaster would need when going over the 12 m hill to make it to the top of the 30 m hill? Question 4 options: 254.8 m/s Not enough information to answer 18.78 m/s 15.96 m/s
In the Marvel comic series X-Men, Colossus would sometimes throw Wolverine toward an enemy in what was called a fastball special. Suppose Colossus throws Wolverine at an angle of 0 = 23.0° with respect to the ground (see figure below). Wolverine is d = 2.14 m above the ground when he is released, and he leaves Colossus's hands with a speed of v; = 22.6 m/s. d (a) Using conservation of energy and the components of the initial velocity, find the maximum height attained by Wolverine during the flight. m (b) Using conservation of energy, what is Wolverine's speed the instant before he hits the ground? m/s
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 7.00 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 14 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s for the acceleration due to gravity. (See the diagram below.) Vyi = = 7.00 m/s- Stone. 14.0 m Vyf a. 15 m/s b. 12 m/s c. 21 m/s d. 24 m/s e. 18 m/s

A ball is released from rest from the top of the empire state building. Use g=9.8 m/sec^2 and ignore air resistance. What is the speed of the ball 1 second after it is released? 3 seconds?
Julie, mass 36kg, has invented a new ride called the Human Launcher. It is basically a platform that springs people straight up into the air. She is testing it, standing on a bathroom scale on the platform. As the platform springs 10.0m upward from rest, Julie notices the scale reads 600.0N. Once it reaches ground level, the platform suddenly stops, but Julie doesn't, and is launched up into the air. What is the maximum height above the ground that Julie will reach? (the ride was deemed unsafe and cancelled) *= nut 10.0m ground
You are working part-time for the GT Sports Media Complex, editing video for the women’s softball team. In one particular clip, a GT player hits a home run over the center field fence. The ball leaves the bat at a height of 4 ft, and crosses the outfield fence (220 ft away) at a height of 10 ft. Logs of the game indicate that the pitch was clocked at 68 mph as it reached the plate. Your frame-by-frame analysis of the 30-frame-per-second video indicate that the ball spent only a single frame in contact with tha bat, and another 126 frames travelling to the outfield fence. A quick internet seach tells you that a typical college softball weighs 0.4 lb. How many pounds of average force act on the ball during ocntact with the bat?
A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.
