A 2.1-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of h = 82 m with a speed of 38 m/s at the end of the powered flight, time t = 0. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts A and B, and the mass of part A, mA = 0.5 kg, and the remaining mass of the rocket is in part B. Part A is observed to strike the ground 93 m west of the launch point at t = 8 s. Determine the y -position of part B at that time.

A 2.600-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of 70 m with a speed of 30 m/s at the end of powered flight, time t = 0. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts of masses mA = 0.910 kg and mB = 1.690 kg. Part A is observed to strike the ground 80 m west of the launch point at t = 6 s. Determine the position of part B at that time. The position of part B is m (east) and m (up).

A model rocket is launched from rest with a constant upward acceleration of 3 m/s2 under the action of a small thruster, Figure 1. The thruster shuts off after 8 seconds, and the rocket continues upward until it reaches its apex. At apex, a small chute opens which ensures that the rocket falls at a constant speed of 0.85 m/s until it impacts the ground. Determine the maximum height h attained by the rocket and the total flight time. Neglect aerodynamic drag during ascent, and assume that the mass of the rocket and the acceleration of gravity are both constant. Figure 1

A bar with a length of L = 0.50 m slide without friction on horizontal rails, as shown in Figure 1. There is a uniform magnetic field of B = 2.0 T directed into the plane. At one end of the rails, there is a battery with an emf of ε = 15 V and a switch. The bar has a mass of 0.90 kg and a resistance of 5.0 Ω, while any other resistance in the circuit is negligible. The switch is closed at t = 0. Figure 1 (a) Plot the speed of the bar as a function of time. (b) What is the acceleration of the bar immediately after the switch is closed? (c) What is the acceleration of the bar when its speed reaches 2.0 m/s? (d) What is the terminal speed of the bar?
