A rocket sits initially at rest on the surface of the earth, until it begins burning its engines. While burning its engines, it accelerates upward at 30.0 m/s² for 30.0 s. It then runs out of fuel and continues ascending to its maximum height in free fall. Ignoring air resistance, (i) what is the rocket’s maximum altitude, and (ii) how much time passes from liftoff to reaching its maximum altitude?

A 95.7 kg cart initially sits at rest on a flat track. This cart of charge 0.006 C is placed in an initial potential of 276,228 V, which launches it toward a spring with a spring constant of 416.2 N/m. After being launched, the cart crashes into the spring that brings it to a stop. How far is the spring compressed in order to stop the cart?

Block B is initially at rest. Then block A slides on the smooth surface to the right and collides with block B with a velocity vAvA. Consider three following collision cases where: i) elastic impact; ii ) perfectly plastic impact; iii ) e = 0.5. Just after the collision, rank these three cases where the relative velocitiy of B with respect to A is from largest to smallest magnitude.

Some time, delta T, after a rocket blasts off from the surface of earth, it is travelling at a constant speed, and its instantaneous mass(including fuel) is M+20,000kg. The gas ejected out the back of the rocket is moving at a relative velocity of 1,200 m/s (downward), with respect to the rocket. You may assume that the rocket is still very close to the surface of the earth, and that air resistance is negligible. A) What is the rate of...

-A roller coaster cart of mass (m1=127 kg) initially sits at rest on a track. Once the motor is activated, the cart is accelerated forward (across level ground) until it reaches the bottom of a giant circular loop with a radius of (r1=17.5 m). At this point, the motor is turned off and the cart must "coast" for the remainder of the ride. Assume the track is frictionless and ignore air resistance. At the top of the loop, what is...
