On a test flight a rocket with mass 400 kg blasts off from the surface of the earth. The rocket engines apply a constant upward force F until the rocket reaches a height of 100 m and then they shut off. A) If the rocket is to reach a maximum height of 400 mm above the surface of the earth, what value of F is required? Assume the change in the rocket's mass is negligible. (Express your answer with the appropriate units.)

According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
Starting from rest, a 57.0 kg woman jumps down to the floor from a height of 0.800 m, and immediately jumps back up into the air. While she is in contact with the ground during the time interval 0 < t < 0.800 s, the force she exerts on the floor can be modeled using the function

As a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 22.5 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.30 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.N
A high-diver of mass 70 kg jumps off a board 20 m above the water. If, 1.5 s after entering the water his downward motion is stopped, what average net force exerted on the diver? Choose A. 800 N B. 924 N C. 653 N D. No answer is correct.
In an amusement park water slide, people slide down an essentially frictionless tube. The top of the slide is 3.0 m above the bottom where they exit the slide, moving horizontally, 1.2 m above a swimming pool. What horizontal distance do they travel from the exit point before hitting the water? Does the mass of the person make any difference?
After falling from rest from a height of 30-m, a 0.50-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a maximum height of 20-m. If the contact between the ball and the ground lasted 20 milliseconds, what average force was exerted on the ball by the ground? (Hint: consider the change in velocity that has occurred between the interval just before and just after hitting the ground). Answer: 1.1 x 10^3 N
