Homework Statement A rocket is initially at rest on the ground. At time = 0, its engines ignite causing the rocket to move in a straight line with constant total acceleration of a = 30 m/s^2 at an angle of 76 degrees, and the engines are strong enough to counter gravity and keep it exactly in a...

@nasu That's all the text. Here's a screenshot of the problem. http://i.imgur.com/EbWvxIl.png @NascentOxygen I see. The alternative method sounds like the method from YahooAnswers that I encountered. Thank you for the explanation!

52.6 is delta x. The Final height (71.8) minus the initial height (19.2). There were two prior sub-questions for this question. A) What is the velocity of the mailbag when it is released? Which is obviously 32.08 m/s B) What maximum height from the ground does the mailbag reach? Which is 71.8...

Homework Statement The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by h = 3.30t3, where h is in meters and t is in seconds. After 1.80 s, the helicopter releases a small mailbag. Assume the upward direction is positive and the downward direction is negative. Already solved for Initial...
