A rocket sled having an initial speed of 150 mi/hr is slowed by a channel of water. Assume that during the braking process, the acceleration a is given by a(v)=-mu v2 , where v is the velocity and mu is a constant.

. To promote their new album, Black Pink decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept all airwaves and play their songs worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto an 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launchpad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launchpad? (b) How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad? (c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?

A boat is towed at the rate of 12mi/hr. At t = 0, the towing line is cast off and a man in the boat begins to row in the direction of motion exerting force of 20 lb.

Derive a DE leading the velocity of the boat.
A 5-ton spacecraft is running low on fuel and the spacecraft's propulsion force is given by F=5000−2x (The instant the force reaches zero, the fuel runs out and the force is forever zero.) Assuming that the change in the ship's mass due to fuel loss is negligible, determine: a) Graph the force versus position and tell where the fuel ends. b) How much energy was available in the fuel? c) If the ship starts from rest, what is the fastest speed the ship can reach?
When a volleyball coach releases a volleyball from a height of 2 m above the gym floor, it falls to the floor and bounces back to two-thirds the same height. When it is in contact with the floor, the lower side of the ball is temporarily flattened. Suppose the maximum depth of the dent is 1 cm. (Assume the positive direction is upward.)1. Determine the acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while it is in contact with the floor and compressing. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 2. Determine the velocity of the ball (in m/s) as it leaves the floor on the rebound. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 3. What If? If instead of dropping the ball, the coach throws it down (from some unknown height) with such a speed that it bounces back up to a height three times its original height, determine the new acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while in contact with the floor and expanding. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
A 7500-kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25 m/s2 and feels no appreciable air resistance. When it has reacheda height of 525 m, its engines suddenly fail; the only force acting on it is now gravity. (a) What is the maximum height this rocket will re launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse after engine faihure before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad, and how fast will it be moving just before it crashes? (c) Sketch a-t, vy-t, and y-t graphs of the rocket's motion from the instant of blast-off to the instant just before it strikes the launch pad.
