Answer:

The maximum height reached by the rocket is 486.53 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the rocket, u = 0

acceleration of the rocket, a= 20 m/s²

duration of the rocket first motion, t = 4 s

The distance traveled by the rocket before its thrust failed

h₁ = ut + ¹/₂at²

h₁ = 0 + ¹/₂ x 20 x 4²

h₁ = 160 m

The second distance moved by the rocket is calculated as follows;

The velocity of the rocket before its thrust failed;

v = u + at

v = 0 +  20 x 4

v = 80 m/s

This becomes the initial velocity for the second stage

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0

v_f^0 = v_i^2 - 2gh_2\\\\0 = (80)^2 - (2 \times 9.8)h_2\\\\0 = 6400 - 19.6h_2\\\\19.6h_2 = 6400\\\\h_2 = \frac{6400}{19.6} \\\\h_2 = 326.53 \ m

The maximum height reached by the rocket = h₁ + h₂

                                                                          = 160 + 326.53

                                                                          = 486.53 m

Car at rest:

velocity= 0m/s

Acceleration:

0.2m/s²

Since total time:

3 min = 180s

Formula of acceleration:

acceleration = [final velocity - initial velocity] ÷ [total time]

Velocity at end:

0.2m/s² = [final velocity - 0m/s] ÷ [180s]

0.2m/s² × 180s = [final velocity]

[final velocity] = 36m/s

Distance travelled:

Velocity = displacement(distance) ÷ time

36m/s = displacement(distance) ÷ 180s

displacement(distance) = 36m/s × 180s

displacement(distance) = 6480m

<em><u>Hey I'm sorry but i do not understand why the answer on your worksheet for distance travelled is 3240m... its </u></em><em><u>half</u></em><em><u> of what my answer is...</u></em>
