A group of students launches a model rocket In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 50 m and both

in the vertical direction. Based on tracking boats are traveling at a constant speed of 180 km/h. At t =0,
the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B

rocket was 89.6 ft at the end of the powered acceleration of A, (b) the acceleration of B.
portion of the flight and that the rocket
landed 16 s later. Knowing that the descent
parachute failed to deploy so that the rocket
fell freely to the ground after reaching its
maximum altitude and assuming that g =
32.2 ft/s2, determine (a) the speed v1 of the
rocket at the end of powered flight, (b) the
maximum altitude reached by the rocket.

Two automobiles A and B are approaching Two rockets are launched at a fireworks display. Rocket
