A scientist tried to launch an experimental rocket in vertical direction. The tracking device of the rocket shows the flight height is at 77.2 ft when its power shut down. The failure of the parachute to deploy makes the rocket fell freely to the ground after 22 seconds. Determine: (a) the velocity of the rocket when the powered flight shutdown (b) the maximum height reached by the rocket.

The 233000-lb space-shuttle orbiter touches down at about 237 mi/hr. At 208 mi/hr its drag parachute deploys. At 45 mi/hr, the chute is jettisoned from the orbiter. If the deceleration in feet per second squared during the time that the chute is deployed is -0.000170v2 (speed v in feet per second), determine the corresponding distance s traveled by the orbiter. Assume no braking from its wheel brakes.

The shipping crate shown weighs 13 kg and is initially hooked to a stretched spring (stretched length ?1 0.8 m, spring constant k = 1 kN/m, unstretched length ?? = 50 cm). The crate is released from rest at Position ?, which is elevated 20 cm from the ground, after which it initially moves up the incline. The spring completely detaches from (and stops interacting with) the crate once the crate has stopped moving up the incline. Assume that the crate maintains its velocity as it transfers from the frictionless slope to the rough horizontal surface (no tumbling). Disregard the geometry of the crate. (a) Determine the work (J) done by friction if the crate makes a complete stop at Position ? after travelling ∆?? = 9 m horizontally from point ?. (b) Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the rough surface. (c) Find the deceleration (m/s2) experienced by the crate due to friction with the rough surface.
