A rocket is launched vertically from rest, it reaches an altitude of 5.2km after 16s of constant acceleration. What was the magnitude of the acceleration of the rocket? How many times larger than the acceleration due to gravity is this? Is this rocket safe for human passengers?
Calculate the error in acceleration (equation 2.1) assuming vo=0 m/s, Δx ± δx and t ± δt.
acceleration is given as
d = 0.5 at^2
5200 = 0.5 a * 16^2
a = 40.625 m/s^2
=====
a = 40.625 / 9.8 g
a = 4.145 g
=====
yes, rocket is safe for human passengers

Comment before rate in case any doubt, will reply for sure.. goodluck

1. A rocket is launched vertically from the Earth, and the thrust (pushing force) from the engines is directed upward, and has a magnitude of 5.00 x 106 N. The mass of the rocket is initially 2.00 x 105 kg. (a) What is the initial acceleration of the rocket, assuming you can neglect air resistance? (b) After the rocket has been in flight for a while, burning and exhausting a lot of fuel, its mass has decreased to 1.20 x 105 kg, and...
A. If a rocket was launched vertically from rest with an acceleration of 15 m/s² for 10 seconds, what height did the rocket reach and how long was the rocket in the air?
A rocket is launched vertically from the origin. For the time from t=0s to 5.5s it has a constant acceleration of a =5.7" k At 5.5s the rocket's engine stops and it subsequently experiences a constant downward acceleration due to gravity. What is the z-component (vertical component) of the rocket's position at time 7.8s? Answer in meters. Answer:
A rocket rises vertically, from rest, with an acceleration of 4.0 m/s2 until it runs out of fuel at an altitude of 1500 m . After this point, its acceleration is that of gravity, downward. With what velocity does the rocket strike the Earth? How long (total) is it in the air?
A rocket rises vertically, from rest, with an acceleration of 3.4 m/s2 until it runs out of fuel at an altitude of 1500 m . After this point, its acceleration is that of gravity, downward. A) What is the velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuel? B) How long does it take to reach this point? C) What maximum altitude does the rocket reach? D) How much time (total) does it take to reach maximum altitude? E)...
3. A SpaceX StarshipTM single-stage rocket is launched vertically from the moons surface. It burns k kg of fuel per second, so its mass as a function of time is m = mo - kt. Assume constant acceleration of gravity g and a constant exhaust speed of vex (a) By integrating with respect to time, calculate the rockets velocity versus time (while it still has fuel). (b) Integrate again to show that the altitude versus time is given by (e)...

A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.60 m/s2 .At 30.0 s after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall. What is the height of the rocket when the engine fails? Find the magnitudes of the rocket's velocity and acceleration at its highest point. How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?
Carlon launched a toy rocket vertically up from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration of 12.3 m/s2 during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout the rocket has risen to 89 m. The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The maximum height reached by the rocket is closest to:
