3. a rocket is launched at an angle of 53 degrees above the 1 point
horizontal with an initial speed of 75 m/s. it moves for 25 s
along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 25
m/s/s. at this time, its engines fail, and the rocket
proceeds to move as a projectile. what is the rocket's
maximum altitude?

24,000 m

Explanation:

First find the rocket's final position and velocity during the first phase in the y direction.

Given:

v₀ = 75 sin 53° m/s

t = 25 s

a = 25 sin 53° m/s²

Find: Δy and v

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (75 sin 53° m/s) (25 s) + ½ (25 sin 53° m/s²) (25 s)²

Δy = 7736.8 m

v = at + v₀

v = (25 sin 53° m/s²) (25 s) + (75 sin 53° m/s)

v = 559.0 m/s

Next, find the final position of the rocket during the second phase (as a projectile).

Given:

v₀ = 559.0 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (559.0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 15945.5 m

The total displacement is:

7736.8 m + 15945.5 m

23682.2 m

Rounded to two significant figures, the maximum altitude reached is 24,000 m.
