In: Physics
A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 mm), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 80 m and acquired a velocity of 20 m/s. The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The maximum height reached by the rocket is closest to:
Consider the rocket after engine burnout
Height of the rocket at engine burnout,
Speed of the rocket,
Speed of the rocket at maximum height,
-------------------------
Use formula
, where is the height covered by the rocket after engine burnout
Put a negative sign for g because even after the engine burnout rocket is going upwards and g is acting downwards.
-------------
Maximum height reached by rocket,
