Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.
