A catapult launches a rocket at an angle of 49.6° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 112 m/s. The rocket engine immediately starts a burn, and for 3.58 s the rocket moves along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 32.5 m/s2. Then its engine fails, and the rocket proceeds to move in free-fall. (a) Find the maximum altitude reached by the rocket. m (b) Find its total time of flight. s (c) Find its horizontal...

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.4 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1200 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a)...
