A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1040 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (you will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a) for what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground?

solution:

y = v0t + ½at²

1150 = 79t + ½3.9t²

0 = 3.9t² + 158t - 2300

from quadratic equations and eliminating the negative answer

t = (-158 + v158² -4(3.9)(-2300)) / 2(3.9)

t = 11.37 s to engine cut-off

the velocity at that time is

v = v0 + at

v = 79 + 3.9(11.37)

v = 123.3 m/s

it rises for an additional time

v = gt

t = v/g

t = 123.3 / 9.8

t = 12.59 s

gaining more altitude

y = ½vt

y = 123.3(12.59) /2

y = 776 m

for a peak height of

y = 776 + 1150

Answer:

t = 31.52 s, the time until the crash

t = 42 s, time to the motion

Explanation:

We have the following data:

so = 0

vo = 80.6 m/s

a = 3.90 m/s^2

s = 1040 m

replacing in the distance equation we have:

s = so + vo*t + (a*t^2)/2

s = 0 + 80.6*t + (3.9 * t^2)/2 = 1040

clearing t:

t = 10.48 s

v1 = v2o = vo + a*t = 80.6 + (3.9 * 10.48) = 121.472 m/s

s2 = 1040 + 121.472t - (9.8*t^2)/2

0 = 1040 + 121.472t - (9.8*t^2)/2

Clearing t:

t = 31.52 s, the time until the crash

t = 42 s, time to the motion

Debora [2.8K]
I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored. 
Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law. 
Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.
Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from. 
I think that the above mostly tcuches on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.
