1.) A rocket was launched vertically, when the rocket reaches altitude h, it
begins to travel along the parabolic path 𝑏𝑥 = (𝑦 − ℎ1 )2 . If the component of
velocity in the vertical direction is constant at 𝑉𝑦 = 𝑉𝑜𝑥 determine a) time for the
rocket to reach ℎ2 from ℎ1 b) magnitudes of rockets velocity and c)acceleration
when it reaches altitude ℎ1 Asuming the values are ℎ1 = 40𝑚, b = 160m, Vo =
180m/s and ℎ2 = 80 m respectively
Given:
h2 = 80m 𝑦2 𝑡2
∫ = ∫ 𝑉𝑑𝑡
𝑏𝑥 = (𝑦 − ℎ1 )2 40 0

𝑦2 − 40 = 180𝑡

ℎ1 = 4𝑜𝑚 𝑦2 = 180𝑡 + 40
𝑦2 = 80
80 = 180𝑡 + 40

2) The car starts from rest and travels along a straight track such that it accelerates at
10m/s for 10s, and then deccelerates at 2m/𝑠 2 until it stops. Draw the a-t, v-t and s-t graphs
and determine a)how far the car traveled and b)the time spent by the car from start to end.
