A 5000 kg mass rocket “breaks the engine” when it is 100 m high and climbing at a speed of 75 m / s. Calculate:
1) The maximum height it will reach
2) The speed with which it will hit the ground after the fall.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1:281.25m

2:75m/s

Explanation:

using the equation

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gs[/tex]

at maximum height v is zero so using that you can make s the subject of the formula

[tex]h \: max = u^{2} \div \: 2g[/tex]

so substitute the velocity 75 and the constant g-10m/s^2

as for the returning velocity we say displacement is zero since you go and come back the same distance

so

[tex]v = { + or - }u[/tex]

u is the initial speed in this case it's positive since going in the direction of gravity
