A model rocket is fired from the ground in a parabolic arc. At the very top of the arc, at a horizontal displacement of 260 m from the launch point, an explosion occurs within the rocket, breaking it into two fragments which separate from each other. One fragment, having 1/3 the mass of the rocket, falls straight down to Earth as if it were at rest at that moment right after the explosion.  Determine the total horizontal displacement from the launch...

a toy rocket is fired fired at rest vertically upwards and accelerates at a constant rate. At the instant the engine cuts out, the rocket has risen to 52 m and acquired a velocity of 80 m/s. The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground with negligible air resistance. The speed of the rocket upon impact on the ground is closest to

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is given by a(t) = 60t ft/s2 , at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely “falling” body and falls to the ground.

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t)=96t, at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. 1919 seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to −16 ft/s in 5 s. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate. (a) Determine the position function s and the velocity function v(for all times t). v(t)=    if 0≤t≤3    ...

Suppose a rocket-propelled motorcycle is fired from rest horizontally across a canyon 1.20 km wide. (a) What minimum constant acceleration in the x-direction must be provided by the engines so the cycle crosses safely if the opposite side is 0.780 km lower than the starting point? m/s2 (b) At what speed does the motorcycle land if it maintains this constant horizontal component of acceleration? Neglect air drag, but remember that gravity is still acting in the negative y-direction. m/s

Let C be the closed path that travels from (0, 0) to (1, 1) along y = x^2 , then from (1, 1) to (0, 2) along y = 2 − x^ 2 , and finally in a straight line from (0, 2) to (0, 0). Evaluate Z C e ^3−x √ 3 − x ) dx + (5x − y √ y^2 + 2) dy

In the first stage of a two-stage rocket, the rocket is fired from the launch pad starting from rest but with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 upward. At 25.0 s after launch, the second stage fires for 10.0 s, which boosts the rocket’s velocity to 132.5 m/s upward at 35.0 s after launch. This firing uses up all the fuel, however, so after the second stage has finished firing, the only force acting on the rocket is gravity. Air...
