How Far Does a Rocket-Powered Hockey Puck Land from the Base of a Table?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a rocket-powered hockey puck released from a table. The scenario includes dynamics in two dimensions, specifically focusing on motion in a plane and projectile motion after the puck leaves the table.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss finding the time of flight for the puck after it leaves the table and the necessary calculations for determining the velocity on the x-axis. There is an emphasis on understanding the relationship between acceleration, time, and distance.

Discussion Status

The discussion has seen some progress, with one participant indicating they have found the necessary calculations. However, there remains a focus on clarifying the steps leading to the final position of the puck.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the constraints of a homework assignment, which may limit the information shared and the methods discussed.

[SOLVED] Help please with dynamics 2: MOTION IN A PLANE

A rocket-powered hockey puck has a thrust of 3.0 N and a total mass of 1.0 kg. It is released from rest on a frictionless table, 4.0 m from the edge of a 2.0 m drop. The front of the rocket is pointed directly toward the edge. How far does the puck land from the base of the table?

You have not shown any attempt on your part. Start by finding the time it takes for the puck to hit the ground once it leaves the table.

I already found acceleration for x and y axis, delta T, and delta y but I can't find the velocity on the x-axis once the puck flies off the table. I need the velocity in order to find delta x.
 
I found it

thanks :->
