A rocket is launched to travel vertically upwards with a constant velocity of 20 m/s. After traveling for 35 s the rocket develops a snag and it's fuel supply is cut-off. The rocket then travels like a free body. What is the total height achieved by it? After what time of its launch will it come back to the earth?
Answers
S = ut
This is because it is moving at a constant velocity.
After 35 seconds the distance will be :
S = 20 × 35 = 700m
Now from 700 m above the ground now it travels at a free fall.
The initial velocity = 20 m/s
Final velocity = 0
Acceleration due to gravity = 10
Now :
V² = U² - 2gs
0 = 400 - 20S
20s = 400
S = 400/20
S = 20 m
The total height achieved = 700 + 20
= 720 m
The time it takes to drop back to the earth is :
S = ut + 0.5gt²
u = 0
720 = 0.5 × 10 × t²
720 = 5t²
t² = 720/5
t² = 144
t = √144
= 12 seconds
The total time it takes is :
12 + 35 = 47 seconds
⏩ Upward distance covered by the rocket in first 35 s
= ut = 20 × 35 = 700 m.
When the fuel supply is cut-off:-
u= +20 m/s, g= -10 m/s², v= 0
Therefore,
v² - u² = 2gs or
0 - (20)² = 2 × (-10) × s
or
s= 400/20 = 20 m.
Total height achieved = 700 + 20 = 720 m. Ans.
Also, t= v-u/g
= 0-20/-10 = 2 s
For downward motion of the rocket :-
u= 0, s= -720 m, g= -10 m/s²
As, s= ut + 1/2gt²
Therefore,
-720 = 0 + 1/2 × (-10) t²
or
t² = 144
or
t= √144 = 12 s
Therefore, total time taken = 35 + 2 + 12 = 49 s. Ans.
