Chapter 3, Problem 3.51P
CP CALC A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the root of a 30.0-m-tall building. The rocket’s engine produces a horizontal acceleration of (1.60 m/s3)t, in the same direction as the initial velocity, but in the vertical direction the acceleration is g. downward. Ignore air resistance. What horizontal distance does the rocket travel before reaching the ground?

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from thesurface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accelerationof the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the+y-direction is upward. What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?
A particle traveling along the parabolic path y = 0.25x. If x= (2t°) m, wheret is in seconds, determine the magnitude of the particle's acceleration in m/s? when t = 2 s.
PROBLEM:In a basketball tournament, a tall player shoots the ball so that it leaves his hands at an initial speed of 35.0m/s and with an estimated an angle of 50.1o. Neglect the height of the basketball player, a. Determine the location of the ball and its velocity (magnitude and direction) at t = 2.00s.b. Determine the time when the ball reaches the highest point of its path and its vertical distance at that time.c. Determine the range from initial point to its final position.
