Confusing Motion Question..Please Help!
Question:
The coyote in his relentless attempt to catch the elusive roadrunner loses his footing and falls from a sharp cliff, 500meters above ground level. After 6seconds of free fall the coyote remembers he is wearing his ACME rocket-powered backpack, which he turns on.
A. The coyote comes to the ground with a gentle landing (i.e. zero velocity). Assuming constant deceleration, find the deceleration of the coyote.
B. Unfortunately for the coyote, he is unable to shut down the rocket as he reaches the ground. Consequently, he is propelled back up into the air. After 5seconds the rocket runs out of fuel. Find the maximum height reached by the coyote on his trip back up.
C. What is his final velocity as he reaches the ground for the second time?
