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 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.

The figure shows a two-ended "rocket" that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M = 6.00 kg) and blocks L and R (each of mass m = 1.60 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t = 0, block L is shot to the left with a speed of 2.90 m/s relative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at time t = 0.70 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 2.90 m/s relative to the velocity that block C then has (after the second explosion). At t = 3.10 s, what are (a) the velocity of block C (including sign) and (b) the position of its center?

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
