Distance and Speed

The speed, distance and time relation forms the basis of study of motion. You will need these concepts in the study of Mechanics. This concept is applicable for students who are studying the following courses –

Question

A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04kmℎ=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground?
