Chapter 3, Problem 3.51P
CP CALC A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the root of a 30.0-m-tall building. The rocket’s engine produces a horizontal acceleration of (1.60 m/s3)t, in the same direction as the initial velocity, but in the vertical direction the acceleration is g. downward. Ignore air resistance. What horizontal distance does the rocket travel before reaching the ground?

The velocity of a particle is given by v ={16t^2i +4t^3j + (5t +2)k} m/s, where t is in seconds. If the particle is at the origin when t = 0, determine the magnitude of the particle’s acceleration when t = 2 s. Also, what is the x, y, z coordinate position of the particle at this instant?
