Solved: A test rocket is launched by accelerating it along
Chapter 3, Problem 3.47(choose chapter or problem)
A test rocket is launched by accelerating it along a 200.0-m incline at starting from rest at point A (Fig. P3.47). The incline rises at 35.0 above the horizontal, and at the instant the rocket leaves it, its engines turn off and it is subject only to gravity (air resistance can be ignored). Find (a) the maximum height above the ground that the rocket reaches, and (b) the greatest horizontal range of the rocket beyond point A.

QUESTION:
A test rocket is launched by accelerating it along a 200.0-m incline at starting from rest at point A (Fig. P3.47). The incline rises at 35.0 above the horizontal, and at the instant the rocket leaves it, its engines turn off and it is subject only to gravity (air resistance can be ignored). Find (a) the maximum height above the ground that the rocket reaches, and (b) the greatest horizontal range of the rocket beyond point A.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Once the rocket leaves the incline it moves in projectile motion. The acceleration along the incline determines the initial velocity and initial position for the projectile motion.
