A rocket is designed to be launched to space with an acceleration defined by the equation given below where "y" is the altitude of the rocket in the time of flight and "R" is the radius of the earth equal to 6,400 kilometers. The rocket was launched at a velocity equal to 8,900 m/s. 3. How much altitude will the rocket gain at an instance the velocity is 5,000 m/s? Express your answer in unit of meter. 4. What is the maximum altitude reached by the rocket? Express your answer in unit of meter.

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
The height of a projectile moving vertically is given by the table, where t is the elapsed time in seconds and h is the height in feet. t = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 h = 100, 684, 1236, 1756, 2244, 2700 If the height is modeled by h(t) = -16t2 + v0t + h0, where v0 and h0 are the velocity and height at t = 0, respectively, find v0
The height h in feet of an object that is dropped from a height of a feet is given by the formula h= s -16t2 , where t is the time the object has been falling. A 5-foot-tall woman on a sidewalk looks directly overhead and sees a windows washer drop a bottle from 5 stories up. How long does she have to get out of the way? Round to the nearest tenth. A story is 12 feet.
The formula v= square root 2gh gives the velocity v, in feet per second, of an object after it falls h feet accelerated by gravity g, in feet per second squared. If g is approximately 32 feet per second squared, find how far an object has fallen if its velocity is 168 feet per second.
