A model rocket is launched from rest with a constant upward acceleration of 2.5 m/s² under the action of a small thruster. The thruster shuts off after 7 seconds, and the rocket continues upward until it reaches its apex. At apex, a small chute opens which ensures that the rocket falls at a constant speed of 0.70 m/s until it impacts the ground. Determine the maximum height hattained by the rocket and the total flight time tf. Neglect aerodynamic drag during ascent, and assume the mass of the rocket and the acceleration of gravity are both constant. 2.5 m/s² Answers: 0.70 m/s

The parasailing system shown uses a winch to pull the rider in towards the boat, which is travelling with a constant velocity. During the interval when 0 is between 20° and 40° (where t= 0 at 0= 20°), the angle increases at the constant rate of 2°/s. During this time, the length of the rope is defined by the relationship r= 125 - where r and t are expressed in meters and seconds, respectively. At the instant when the rope makes a 30° angle with the water, the tension in the rope is 18 kN. At this instant, what is the magnitude and direction of the force of the parasail on the 75 kg parasailor?

An engine driver suddenly puts on his brake and shuts off steam when he is running at full speed; in the first second afterwards the train travels 28 m and in the next second 26 m. Find (i) the original speed of the train, (ii) the time before it comes to rest, (iii) the distance it will travel in that interval, assuming the brake to cause a constant retardation.

A motorcycle starts from rest at t = 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/sec2 until it reaches a speed of 50 ft/s and maintains this speed throughout the duration of the motion.

Human centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots. When aerospace physiologists say that a pilot is pulling 9 g,s , they mean that the resultant normal force on the pilot from the bottom of the seat is nine times their weight. Knowing that the centrifuge starts from rest and has a constant angular acceleration of 1.5 RPM per second until the pilot is pulling 9 g's and then continues with a constant angular velocity, determine (a) how long it will take for the pilot to reach 9 g's (b) the angle 0 of the normal force once the pilot reaches 9 g’s. Assume that the force parallel to the seat is zero.

A group of students launches a model rocket in the vertical direction. Based on tracking data, they determine that the altitude of the rocket was 89.6 ft at the end of the powered portion of the flight and that the rocket landed 18.5 s later. The descent parachute failed to deploy so that the rocket fell freely to the ground after reaching its maximum altitude. Assume that g = 32.2 ft/s2. Determine the speed v1 of the rocket at the end of powered flight. The speed is ____ ft/s.
