A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward with constant net acceleration, B, from time t=0 until t=T1, at which time the fuel is exhausted. Neglect air resistance and assume that the rocket stays close enough to the ground that the acceleration due to gravity (after the rocket engine stops) is given by g. a) Find the maximum height, H, that the rocket reaches above the ground. b) If the rocket's net acceleration, B, is equal to 1.0g, find an expression for the total time, Tmax, that the rocket is in the air (i.e. from liftoff until it hits the ground) in terms of Tı. You do not need to solve your expression numerically but simplify it as much as possible.

A firework is projected from the level ground in such a way that v0y = 10m/s and v0x = 20 m/s.a) Find the time it takes the firework to reach its maximum height reached.b) Since the firework returns to the ground, it has the same initial and final height. Whenthis happens, the time it takes the object to land is twice the time it takes to reach its maximum height. Using this information, find the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the firework right as it lands.

A Lamborghini Aventador travels in a straight line along a road. Its position from a stop sign is given as a function of time by x(t) = at4 − bt6, where a = 4.50 m/s4, and b = 0.0200 m/s6. Determine the instant when the car is at rest again, together with its acceleration at that instant.
An initially stationary hovercraft sits on a large lake. Whena whistle blows the hovercraft accelerates due north at a rate of1.2 m s−2for 10 s, does not accelerate at all for the next 10 s, andthen accelerates at a rate of 0.6 m s−2 due east for another 10 s. Thehovercraft then coasts for another 10 s without any acceleration.(a) What is the velocity of the hovercraft 40 s after the whistleblows?(b) What is the displacement of the hovercraft 40 s after thewhistle blows?
A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height 1.74 km, the rocket reaches a speed of 251m/s. At that height, the rocket runs of fuel so there is nolonger any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward.a. assuming constant acceleration, what is the rocket's accerlation in m/s2 during the period from its launch until it runs out of fuel?b. afther the rocket's engine turns off at a height of 1.74km it continues to move upward due tothe velocity it reached. what is the rocket's acceleration in m/s2 during the engine shutoff until it returns to the ground. Ignore aire resistancec. calculate the maximum height, in meters, above groudn level that the rocket reaches

Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
