2. A 2,000 kg rocket is launched 12 km straight up at a constant acceleration into the sky at which point the rocket is travelling at 750 m/s. How much work was done by the rocket? What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the rocket? And how long did the flight take?

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv² equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv² Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
