If you take 50 meters and divide by 23.1 seconds, you will get 2.16 meters per second.

So his average speed is 2.16 m/s.

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}

v_1=v_{01}+a_1t

We must consider that it's launched from the ground (y_{01}=0m) and from rest (v_{01}=0m/s), with an upwards acceleration a_{1}=28m/s^2 that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 (y_{02}=1317.26m) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 (v_{02}=271.6m/s), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2. For the data we have it's faster to use the formula v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad, where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:

v_{02}^2+2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=v_2^2=0m/s

Then, to get y_2, we do:

2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=-v_{02}^2

y_2-y_{02}=-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

And we substitute the values:

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}=(1317.26m)-\frac{(271.6m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=5080.86m

Answer:

Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry.
