a model rocket rises with constant accerleration to a height of 3.2 m, at which point its speed is 26.0 m/s. (a) how much time does it take for the rocket to reach this height? (b) what was the magnitude of the rocket's acceration? (c) find the height and speed of the rocket 0.10 s after launch.

a. VF^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*d,

Vo^2 = Vf^2 - 2g*d,
Vo^2 = (26)^2 + 19.6*3.2 = 738.72,
Vo = 27.18m/s.

t = (Vf - Vo) / g,
t = (26 - 27.18) / -9.8 = 0.12s.

b.

To solve these problems, we can use the basic kinematic equations of motion. These equations relate the initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time. Let's go through each part step by step:

(a) Time taken to reach a certain height:
We are given the initial velocity (0 m/s), final velocity (26.0 m/s), and displacement (3.2 m). We need to find the time taken to reach this height. We can use the following equation:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where:
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = displacement

Rearranging the equation to find the time taken (t), we have:

t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values, we get:

t = (26.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / a

We still need to find the acceleration (a), so let's move on to the next part.

(b) Magnitude of the rocket's acceleration:
As per the problem, the rocket rises with a constant acceleration. To find the magnitude of the acceleration, we can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Again, rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration (a), we get:

a = (v - u) / t

Using the given values, we have:

a = (26.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / t

Now we have enough information to solve for the magnitude of acceleration.

(c) Height and speed of the rocket 0.10 s after launch:
Using the equations of motion, we can find the height and speed at any given time. Let's consider t = 0.10 s.

For the height, we can use the equation:

s = ut + (1/2)at^2

Substituting u = 0 m/s, t = 0.10 s, and the acceleration (which we can find from part (b)), we can calculate the height.

For the speed, we can use the equation:

v = u + at

Substituting u = 0 m/s, t = 0.10 s, and the acceleration again, we can find the speed.

Now, you have the step-by-step explanation of how to solve each part. Plug in the given values into the equations to find the answers.
