Answer:
Question 1)
a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.

This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,

where α is the angular acceleration.
In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.
Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is
α = 0.5/R.
b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is

Question 2)
a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:

b) 
Answer:
The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.
Explanation:
Given that,
Output energy 
Work done 
We need to calculate the coefficient of performance
Using formula of the coefficient of performance

We need to calculate the 

Put the value into the formula



Now put the value of
into the formula of COP


Hence, The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.
Answer:
S = V t where S is the horizontal distance traveled
1/2 g t^2 = H where H is the vertical distance traveled
t^2 = 2 H / g
V^2 = S^2 / t^2 = S^2 g / (2 H) combining equations
tan theta = H / S
V^2 = S g / (2 tan theta)
Using S = L cos theta
V^2 = L g cos theta / (2 tan theta)
Giving V in terms of L and theta
