NASA is launching a rocket into space from Earth. This particular rocket burns its fuel for 5 minutes and then turns off its engines. At this point, the rocket keeps floating along through space at a speed of 10 km/s. What is the rocket’s average acceleration during these first 5 minutes? Part 2: How far did the rocket travel during the first 5 minutes? Part 3: The Moon is approximately 3.8.105 km from Earth. At its final speed, how long will it take the rocket to reach the Moon? Part 4: The star nearest to us, called Alpha Centauri, is 4.1.1013 km away. Could this rocket get a man to Alpha Centauri before he dies of old age? (This is a real obstacle to NASA’s plans of exploring other solar systems than our own!) Part 5: The rocket is half way to the Moon when its pilot suddenly notices he forgot his camera! He radios a second rocket crew on Earth and tells them to bring his camera and meet him on the Moon when he lands. Unfortunately, the second rocket can only…

Martians ships will take 400 years to each earth, but they sent a scout that is to fly by our moon at 0.1x10^8 m/s (velocity). We hide our own scout at the moon, that can accelerate at 6.3x10^3 m/s2. How long will it take us to overtake their scout? How far will the martians have travelled by that time? (straight line path)
You start your bicycle ride at the top of a hill. You coast down the hill at a constant of 4.0 m/s2. When you get at the bottom of the hill, you are moving at 25m/s, and you pedal to maintain that speed. If you continue at this speed for 1 minute, how far will you have gone from the time you left the hilltop?
