A rocket ship leaves the launch past at rest and accelerates at a rate of 15 m/s2 for 30 seconds. At this point, the engines fail, and the rocket continues under the influence of gravity for several more seconds. What is the maximum height reached by the rocket in meters? How long will the rocket in the previous problem be in flight, from the moment that it launches to the moment that it crashes back into the launch pad? Give your answer in seconds.

A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.30 m/s2 . At 20.0 s after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall. How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?

During launches, rockets often discard unneeded parts. A certain rocket starts from rest on the launch pad and accelerates upward at a steady 3.10 m/s2 . When it is 235 m above the launch pad, it discards a used fuel canister by simply disconnecting it. Once it is disconnected, the only force acting on the canister is gravity (air resistance can be ignored). How high is the rocket when the canister hits the launch pad, assuming that the rocket does...

A rocket is launched from rest and moves in a straight line at 72.0° above the horizontal with a constant acceleration of 47.8 m/s2. After 31.7 s the engines shut off and the rocket follows a parabolic trajectory back to the ground (Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2). What is the time of flight from launch to impact? What is the maximum altitude reached? What is the horizontal distance reached?

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 34.3 m/s2 . The acceleration period lasts for time 8.00 s until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall. Find the maximum height ymax reached by the rocket. Ignore air resistance and assume a constant acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.80 m/s2 .
