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.

Answer #1

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

    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:
