A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters.
While the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and main
engines only work together during the first 2
minutes of flight, the main engines operate for a
total of 8.5 minutes after the launch. Once the
SRBS are released, the main engines alone
accelerate the rocket from about 1341 m/s to 7600
m/s.

What is the height of the rocket when the rocket reaches
the speed of 7600 m/s? Show your work.

Respuesta :

During the first two minutes of flight, the SRB and main engine accelerate at a rate of 52.16 m/s2.

Acceleration: the rate at which the speed and direction of a moving object vary over time. A point or object going straight ahead is accelerated when it accelerates or decelerates. The provided parameters are the engine's initial velocity (u), its end velocity (v), and the time of motion (t), which is equal to two minutes (2 x 60 s).

Following are the calculations for the main engine and SRB's acceleration.

a= Δv / Δt

a=7600-1341 /2*60s

a=52.16 m/s²

Consequently, 52.16 m/s2 is the acceleration of the main engine and SRB during the first two minutes of flight.
