During launches, rockets often discard unneeded parts. A certain rocket starts from rest on the launch pad and accelerates upward at a steady 3.40 m/s2 . When it is 245 m above the launch pad, it discards a used fuel canister by simply disconnecting it. Once it is disconnected, the only force acting on the canister is gravity (air resistance can be ignored). How high is the rocket when the canister hits the launch pad, assuming that the rocket does not change its acceleration?

A marble is launched from the edge of a table at a angle of 45 ° up from horizontal and goes through the air until it hits the floor. True or False? For such a marble, |vx| (the magnitude of the x-component of the velocity) is decreasing the entire time the marble is airborne.
In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter.

A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance.

How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.

a rocket initially at rest, is fired vertically with an upward acceleration of 10ms/s. at an altitude of 0.5km, the engine of the rocket cuts off. what is the maximum altitude reached by the rocket ?
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.

A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.20 m have been recorded.

A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
