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

If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did
Harman [31]

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total
