    Finding max height and speed before it hits the ground of a rocket

    Homework Statement A model rocket initially at rest on the ground is fired vertically upward, and the engine thrust produces a constant acceleration a = 40 m/s2. After running for 2.5 s the engine is cut off and then the rocket is in free fall. (a) Find the maximum height that the rocket...

    Finding the position at a change in direction

    Homework Statement A particle moving along a straight line with constant acceleration starts its motion at t = 0. The particle is observed to change the direction of motion at t = 4 s, and when t = 10 s it reaches the position of −2 m with a −2.4 m/s velocity measured from a chosen reference...

    How to find the acceleration given time and total distance

    Homework Statement A particle moving along a straight line with constant acceleration starts its motion at t = 0. The particle is observed to change the direction of motion at t = 4 s, and when t = 10 s it reaches the position of −2 m with a −2.4 m/s velocity measured from a chosen reference...
