A small rocket is launched vertically from the ground and experiences an upward acceleration of 5 m/s2. The engine burns out after 4 seconds and the rocket moves under the influence of gravity until it returns to the ground. You may neglect air resistance. Draw the position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time curves for the entire flight from t=0 to t=9.5 s. Take the +y axis to be upward. A) what is the Position vs. Time graph? B) What is...

A vessel at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, having equal mass, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 45m/s. One goes along the negative x-axis and the other along the negative y-axis. The third piece has three times the mass of each other piece. What are the direction and magnitude of its velocity immediately after the explosion? 1)What is the angle with respect to the x-axis? 2)What is the magnitude of its velocity?

A rocket is launched vertically up with no initial velocity. Propulsion is provided by the ejection of mass with constant velocity of ejection u = 66.0 m/s relative to the rocket and at a constant rate so determined that the initial acceleration is zero. The mass of fuel that can be ejected is 55.0% of the total mass at launch. Assuming constant gravitational acceleration, how long does it take the rocket to achieve maximum upward acceleration?
