Need Help in Model Rocket Question

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks assistance with a model rocket physics problem due tomorrow, involving calculations for maximum height, time to reach that height, and total flight duration. The rocket launches at 50.0 m/s with a constant upward acceleration of 2.00 m/s² until it reaches 150m. The user references a similar problem but believes their question differs significantly. They express urgency for help and ask for guidance on where to start. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarification on the problem-solving process.

Hi, This is my first question and I am very stuck on it. I really need your help on this as this is due tomorrow and I just found out this forum today.

Q) A model rocket is launched straight upward with an intial speed of 50.0 m/s. It accelerates with a constant upward acceleration of 2.00m/s^2 until its engine stop at an altitude of 150m.

(a) What is the maximum height reached by the rocket?

(b) How long after lift-off does the rocket reach its maximum height?

(c) How Long is the rocket in the air?

Thanks a lot for all the help that will be given to me. :smile:

Anyone, I really need help in this...

Thanks
 
Sirus, that's the first one I looked at and my question is not close at all...
 
Your problem (copy and pasted):

"Q) A model rocket is launched straight upward with an intial speed of 50.0 m/s. It accelerates with a constant upward acceleration of 2.00m/s^2 until its engine stop at an altitude of 150m.
(a) What is the maximum height reached by the rocket?
(b) How long after lift-off does the rocket reach its maximum height?
(c) How Long is the rocket in the air?"

Her problem (also copy and pasted):

"A model rocket is launched straight upward with an initial speed of 49.5 m/s. It accelerates with a constantupward acceleration of 1.83 m/s^2 until its engines stop at an altitude of 132.0 m.
A.What is the maximum height reached by the rocket?
B.How long after lift-off does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum height?
C.How long is the rocket in the air"

How are these not close at all?

Anyways, what have you done so far and where are you having trouble?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
