A rocket fired vertically up from the north pole achieves a velocity of 25 000 km/h at an altitude of 339 km when its fuel is exhausted. Calculate the additional vertical height h reached by the rocket before it starts its descent back to the earth. The coasting phase of its flight occurs above the atmosphere. Consult Fig. 1/1 in choosing the appropriate value of gravitational acceleration and use the mean radius of the earth from Table D/2. (Note: Launching from the earth's pole avoids considering the effect of the earth's rotation.) Answer: h= i km

Show the complete solution. Put notes on steps. The wooden block (mass m = 0.6165 kg) is released from rest at A by a compressed spring (compressed length 0.6 m, undeformed length 1 m, spring constant k = 150 N/m). The block is allowed to slide through the rough horizontal surface (A to B), then along the smooth circular ramp (B to C, central angle 0 = 45°, until the block is released after point C. Calculate the speed of the block at points B and C. Also, what is the magnitude of the normal force exerted to the block just before the block leaves the ramp? Neglect the geometry of the block.NOTE: Use Work-Energy Method to solve for the speeds; use Force-Mass-Acceleration (FMA) Method to compute for the normal force.
A ball roles off a table as shown in the figure below with a horizontal velocity vx=7.9 m/s. If the height of the table y=1.5 m, determine the magnitude of the total velocity when the ball hits the ground. Hint: Calculate the vx and vy then use the Pythagorean Theorem.
