A model rocket is fired straight up from the top of a 60-mm-tall building. The rocket has only enough fuel to burn for 4.0 ss. But while the rocket engine is burning fuel, it produces an upward acceleration of 60 m/s2m/s2. After the fuel supply is exhausted, the rocket is in free fall and just misses the edge of the building as it falls back to the ground. Ignoring air resistance, calculate (a) the height above the ground and the velocity of the rocket when its fuel runs out; (b) the maximum height of the rocket; (c) the time the rocket is in the air; and (d) the rocket's velocity the moment before it hits the ground.

Chinook salmon can cover more distance in less time by periodically making jumps out of the water. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.03 m/s at 40.6° above the horizontal, re-enters the water a distance L upstream, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 2.92 m/s before jumping out again. Where L=3.67 m; t1= 0.801 sec this is a time when fish are over the water; t2= 1.256 sec; Ttotal =2.057 sec; the average horizontal velocity is 3.57 m/s. Consider the interval of time necessary to travel 2L. How is this reduced by the combination of jumping and swimming compared with just swimming at the constant speed of 2.92 m/s? Express the reduction as a percentage.

An object is thrown from a level field with initial upward speed 17 m/s and forward speed 9.9 m/s. How far (in m) from its launch point is its landing place? You do not need to put the unit in the answer, just the number. As usual, ignore air resistance, etc; use the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 meters per second squared.
