- In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for the rockets position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t)=(R3/2+3g2Rt)2/3j where R is the radius of the Earth (6.38 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earths surface (9.81 m/s2). a. Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). b. Plot y(t), vy(t), and ay(t). (A spreadsheet program would be helpful.) c. When will the rocket be at y=4R? d. What are vy and ay when y=4R?arrow_forward2. On February 21, 2021 United Airlines Flight 328 suffered a catastrophic engine failure at an altitude of 13,500 feet above ground shortly after departure from Denver International Airport. Parts from the engine fell to the ground in Broomfield, Colorado. If the parts initially accelerated towards Earth based on the equation given below, determine elapsed time from separation to impact. Assume initial vertical velocity is zero. a = -32-0.2v (a is ft/s2 and v is ft/s) Analysis of this problem up to terminal velocity is relatively difficult. Analysis after terminal velocity is relatively easy. If you are lost on the first part, use terminal velocity for the entire trajectory for partial credit.arrow_forwardSuppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front-end collisions by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain height.
