A 1660 kg rocket is to be launched with an initial upward speed of 59.0 m/s. In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53° above the horizontal (Figure 1). At the bottom, the ramp turns upward and launches the rocket vertically. The engines provide a constant forward thrust of 2000 N, and friction with the ramp surface is a constant 500N Part A How far from the base of the ramp should the rocket start, as measured along the surface of the ramp?

Two blocks with masses m1 = 5 kg and m2 = 15 kg are connected by a rope as shown. Thehorizontal surface is smooth and the pulley is weightless and frictionless. If the block starts fromrest, what is the speed of m2 after it has fallen by 6 m. Ans. 9.40 m/s
Sam, whose mass is 74.0 kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 220.0 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction wtih the snow of 0.07. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 11.5 seconds. What Sam's top speed (in m/s) assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2? How far (in m) has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?
The average thrust created by the first stage engine of a model rocket is 50N. The rocket has an average weight of 10N with a burn time of 2 seconds. The rocket is initially fired vertically upward. When the rocket reaches maximum height, a second engine is fired creating a horizontal velocity (only) of 50m/s. Where does the rocket land relative to its launch point? Assume it was launched on a horizontal plain.
A 1580 kg rocket is to be launched with an initial upward speed of 59.0 m/s. In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53° above the horizontal (Figure 1). At the bottom, the ramp turns upward and launches the rocket vertically. The engines provide a constant forward thrust of 2000 N, and friction with the ramp surface is a constant 500 N.

You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
