Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the responses of humans to acceleration. Starting from rest, one sled can reach a speed of 444 m/s in 1.80 s and can be brought to a stop again in 2.15 s.
a. Calculate the acceleration of the sled when starting, and compare it to the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, 9.80 m/s2.
b. Find the acceleration of the sled when braking and compare it to the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 49.0 m/s2 . The acceleration period lasts for time 7.00 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 .

A rocket rises vertically, from rest, with an acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 until it runs out of fuel at an altitude of 1300 m. After this point, its acceleration is that of gravity, downward. (a) What is the velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuel? (Assume up is positive.) 1 m/s (b) How long does it take to reach this point? 2 s (c) What maximum altitude does the rocket reach? 3 m (d) How much time...

A rocket test sled accelerates at a constant rate of 15 m/s2 from rest while moving along a straight track. The rocket engine turns off instantly when the sled reaches a speed 30 m/s. The sled then moves freely (acceleration = 0) for a period of 5 s, after which the brakes are automatically applied giving a constant deceleration of -25 m/s2. What is the total time that the sled is moving?

A rocket, starting from rest, travels straight up with an acceleration of 57.7 m/s2. When the rocket is at a height of 520 m, it produces sound that eventually reaches a ground-based monitoring station directly below. The sound is emitted uniformly in all directions. The monitoring station measures a sound intensity I. Later, the station measures an intensity 1/3I. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s, find the time that has elapsed between the two measurements.

A rocket moves upward starting from rest with an acceleration of 20 m/s^2 for 5 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of this 5 s and continues to move upward, acted upon only by gravity. How high does it rise? Find the velocity of the rocket just before it hits the ground and how long it is in the air?
