the rocket starts from rest at t=0 and travel straight up. it's height above the ground as a function of time can be approximated by s=bt^2+ct^3, where b and c are constants. at t=10s, the rocket's velocity and acceleration are v= 229m/s and a=28.2 m/s^2 A.) determine the time in seconds at which the rocket reaches supersonic speed (325 m/s) B.) determine the value of constant B C.) determine the value of constant C
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]
