A test rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward

acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 49 m and acquired a velocity of 30m/s. How long did the burn phase last?

The important thing to note here is the direction of motion of the test rocket. Since it mentions that the rocket travels vertically upwards, then this motion can be applied to rectilinear equations that are derived from Newton's Laws of Motions.These useful equations are:

y = v₁t + 1/2 at²
a = (v₂-v₁)/t

where
y is the vertical distance travelled
v₁ is the initial velocity
v₂ is the final velocity
t is the time 
a is the acceleration

When a test rocket is launched, there is an initial velocity in order to launch it to the sky. However, it would gradually reach terminal velocity in the solar system. At this point, the final velocity is equal to 0. So, v₂ = 0. Let's solve the second equation first.

a = (v₂-v₁)/t
a = (0-30)/t
a = -30/t

Let's substitute a to the first equation:
y = v₁t + 1/2 at²
49 = 30t + 1/2 (-30/t)t²
49 = 30t -15t
49 = 15 t
t = 49/15
t = 3.27 seconds

What is the relationship between air pressure and air temperature?
LenKa [72]
The relationship between the two is that air temperature changes the air pressure. For example, as the air warms up the molecules in the air become more active and they use up more individual space even though there is the same<span> number of molecules. This causes an </span>increase<span> in the air pressure.</span>
