A group of students launches a model rocket in the vertical direction shown below. Based on tracking data, they determine that the altitude of the rocket was 23.7 m at the end of the powered portion of the flight and that the rocket landed 12 s later. Knowing that the descent parachute failed to deploy so that the rocket fell freely to the ground after reaching its maximum altitude and assuming that g = 9.8 m/s', determine (a) the speed v: of the rocket at the end of powered flight, (b) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket. V1 23.7 m

2. During a standard protocol test of an engineered rocket ship, it travelled upward at 80 m/s and when it reached 100 meters from the ground, the engine started to have a mechanical failure. Determine the maximum height SB reached by the rocket and its speed just before it crashed on the ground. While in motion, the rocket is pulled by the gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s2. Also determine the velocity at point C.
A projectile is fıred vertically with an initial velocity of 257 m/s. Calculate the maximum altitude h reached by the projectile and the time t after fıring for it to return to the ground. Neglect air resistance and take the gravitational acceleration to be constant at 9.81 m/s?. Answers: h = i m t = S
An experimental rocket sled weighs 5690 Ib and is propelled by six rocket motors each with an impulse rating of 8350 lb-sec. The rockets are fired one after the other at 1.1-sec intervals, and the duration of each rocket firing is 3.0 sec. If the velocity of the sled 10.5 sec from the start is 175 mi/hr, determine the time average R of the total aerodynamic and mechanical resistance to motion. Neglect the loss of mass due to exhausted fuel compared with the mass of the sled. Rocket thrust R Answer: R = i Ib
A commercial airliner with four jet engines, each producing 76 kN of forward thrust, is in a steady, level cruise when engine number 3 suddenly fails.
