1a) A rocket ship in deep space accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 9.6 m/s2, which is close to the acceleration of gravity on earth and would give the sensation of near-normal gravity during the voyage.How long will it take the ship to reach 0.103c (c = speed of light, 3.0 x 108 m/s)? Your answer should be in s, but enter only the numerical part in the box. You can use exponential notation, if desired. For example, 9.99e15 = 9.99 x 1015.
1b) Consider again the rocket ship in deep space accelerating from rest at a constant rate, this time at 9.2 m/s2.How far (in meters) does the ship travel in the time it takes to reach speed 0.095c (c = speed of light, 3.0 x 108 m/s), starting from rest? Use exponential notation to enter your answer (9.99e15 = 9.99 x 1015).

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?
