It is placed at the edge of a table and launches a projectile horizontally.

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]arrow_forward
- Spring Gun: A spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 12.21 m/s. It is placed at the edge of a table and launches a projectile horizontally.

Imagine an astronaut standing on an alien planet, which has no atmosphere, and throws a stone with a velocity of 7.35 m / s in a horizontal direction, dropping it at a height of 1.40 m above the surface of the planet. The rock hits the surface at a horizontal distance of 9.50 m from the astronaut. Find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, in m / s2, on this alien planet.arrow_forward

The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.arrow_forwardWhile standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.71 m/s.
