During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be lau
nched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 950 m above the earth's surface. The rocket's engines give the rocket an upward acceleration so it moves with acceleration of 16.0 m/s2 during the time T that they fire. After the engines shut off, the rocket is in free fall. Ignore air resistance. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity does not change with the height of the rocket.
Required:
What must be the value of T in order for the rocket to reach the required altitude?

1 answer:
Answer:
T = 6.72 s
Explanation:
V(1) would be the final velocity of the rocket when it's engines are fired. This V(1) is also equal to the initial velocity of the rocket if it's engines gets shut down.
Also, y(1) is the distance that will be traveled by the rocket if the engines get shut down.
see attachment for calculations.
The first is upon firing of the rocket engines
The second is when the engines are down
The third is when the engines are fired.

The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:
</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:
