2: For this problem the heights are low enough that the acceleration due to gravity can be approximated as -g. (Note: even at low Earth orbit, such as the location of the International Space Station, the acceleration due to gravity is not much smaller then g. The apparent weightlessness is due to the space station and its occupants being in free-fall.)
A rocket is launched vertically from a launchpad on the surface of the Earth. The net acceleration (provided by the engines and gravity) is a1 (known) and the burn lasts for t1 seconds (known). Ignoring air resistance calculate:
a) The speed of the rocket at the end of the burn cycle.
b) The height of the rocket when the burn stops.
The main (now empty) fuel tank detaches from the rocket. The rocket is still propelled with the same acceleration as before due to the secondary fuel tank.
c) Calculate how long it takes for the main tank to fall back to the ocean back on the surface of the Earth in order to be recovered for next use.
d) Calculate the height of the rocket at the time when the tank hits the ocean.
e) At the time the main tank hits the ocean the secondary fuel tank runs out of fuel. Calculate the maximum height above the surface of the Earth that is reached by the rocket.
3: a) Consider a vector that points up and to the right at an angle of 45 degrees. Its magnitude is |A|. Write this vector in i-hat, j-hat notation.
b) A vector of similar magnitude points 30 degrees to the left of the positive y axis. Write this vector in i-hat, j-hat notation.
c) A vector of similar magnitude points 12 degrees to the left of the negative y axis. Write this vector in i-hat, j-hat notation.

1: A projectile is launched from the top edge of a cliff of height h. The launcher is to deliver a package to some hikers stranded in the valley below. From GPS readings it is known that the hikers are a distance d (known) from the base of the cliff. If the projectile launcher is pointed at an angle θ (known), calculate the speed at which the projectile should be launched. 2: For this problem the heights are low enough...
On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 1/6 that of on Earth. If an object is dropped from a height of 3.5 m on the moon, determine the time it takes the object to fall to the surface of the moon.
You are on a planet with an unknown acceleration due to gravity. You drop an object from rest and a height 1.1 metres, and measure the final speed 5.6 m/s as the object hits the ground. Using the Principle of Conservation of Energy, calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Use 2 sf in your answer.

Note: Show this using kinematic equations, please. The acceleration due to gravity g near the surface of the Earth can be measured by projecting an object vertically upward and measuring the time that it takes to pass two given points in both directions. See the diagram below. Notice that the horizontal axis is time not position the path of the object is purely along a straight, vertical line. Show that if the time the body takes to pass a horizontal...
6. (10 points Extra Credit) Electrodynamics is not the only subject that utilizes Gauss' Law. We can also use it to study Newtonian gravity. The acceleration due to gravity (9can be written as, where G is Newton's gravitational constant and ρ is the m ass density. This leads us to the usual formulation of Newton's universal law of gravity,或刃--GM(f/r, as expected (if we assume V xğ-0). This "irrotational" condition allows us write (in analogy to the electric field), --Vo and...
6. An astronaut ona distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns to his hand.
