a. You want to get rescue supplies to the stranded explorer. There are two parts to this mission. You have a rocket with the stick attached. The rocket will impale the rescue supplies package. Then it will run out of fuel and become a projectile and soar over the river to land next to the explorer. First of all, let's treat the projectile motion piece. The cliff is 197 m high and 34.25 m wide. The package is shot horizontally to start. Write down the knowns separately for the x and y directions. Find the time the package is in the air. Package Previous submissions: Explorer b. What is the initial x velocity of the package impaled by the rocket such that it makes it across the river? Previous submissions: v c. Now treat the collision between the package which is initially at rest and the rocket. The rocket has a mass of 1.32 kg and the package a mass of 6.875 kg. What must be the initial velocity of the rocket so that after impaling the package, the two together have the minimum velocity you just found needed to make it across the river.
