Chapter 5, Problem 5.22E
CP CALC A 2540-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force such that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by υ(t)= At + Bt2, where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited. The rocket has an upward acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 at the instant of ignition and. 1.00 s later, an upward velocity of 2.00 m/s. (a) Determine A and B. including their SI units. (b) At 4.00 s after fuel ignition, what is the acceleration of the rocket, and (c) what thrust force does the burning fuel exert on it, assuming no air resistance? Express the thrust in newtons and as a multiple of the rocket’s weight, (d) What was the initial thrust due to the fuel?

A ball is thrown from the top of a tower at an angle of 40o to the horizontal with an initial speed of 6.60 m/s. During its flight, the only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity. It takes 3.55 s until the ball hits the ground. How tall is the tower?
A ball of mass 0.4 kg, initially at rest, iskicked directly toward a fence from a point20 m away.The velocity of the ball as it leaves thekicker’s foot is 17 m/s at angle of 38 ◦abovethe horizontal. The top of the fence is 4 mhigh. The ball hits nothing while in flight andair resistance is negligible.The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sDetermine the time it takes for the ball toreach the plane of the fence.Answer in units of s.
