Problem 7E
Section 4.2 Two-Dimensional Kinematics
A model rocket is launched from rest with an upward acceleration of 6.00 m/s2 and, due to a strong wind, a horizontal acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 How far is the rocket from the launch pad 6.00 s later when the rocket engine runs out of fuel?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
A model rocket accelerated in the \(\mathrm{y}\) axis is affected by the wind along the \(\mathrm{x}\) direction. We are going to find the vertical distance traveled by the rocket.
The acceleration of the rocket in the \(\mathrm{y}\) direction \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{y}}=6.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
The acceleration of the wind in the \(\mathrm{x}\) direction \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{x}}=1.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
The time taken by the rocket when the engine runs out of fuel \(\Delta \mathrm{t}=6 \mathrm{~s}\)
The initial speed of the rocket \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{is}}=0\)
