During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. the rocket is to be launched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 960 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. what must be the value of t in order for the rocket to reach the required altitude?

Explanation:

We must separate the motion into two parts, the first when the rocket's engines is on  and the second when the rocket's engines is off. So, we need to know the height () that the rocket reaches while its engine is on and we need to know the distance () that it travels while its engine is off.

For solving this we use the kinematic equations:

In the first part we have:

and the final speed is:

In the second part, the final speed of the first part it will be the initial speed, and the final speed is zero, since gravity slows it down the rocket.

So, we have:

The sum of these heights will give us the total height, which is known:

This is the time that its needed in order for the rocket to reach the required altitude.

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
