Let us assume that rocket only runs in initial energy and not using its own to flying.
Also , let upward direction is +ve and downward direction is -ve .
Initial velocity , u = 58.8 m/s .
Acceleration due to gravity , .
Final velocity , v - = 0 m/s .
We know , by equation of motion .
Hence, this is the required solution .
Explanation:
a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²
s(0) = 76 + 128 x 0 − 16 x 0² = 76 ft
s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft
Displacement in 4 seconds = 332 - 76 = 256 ft
Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s
Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward
a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²
s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft
s(8) = 76 + 128 x 8 − 16 x 8² = 78 ft
Displacement in 4 seconds = 78 - 332 = -254 ft
Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s
Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward
