Motion in two dimension problem. Range and Height.

AI Thread Summary
A rocket is launched at 30.0 m/s at a 40-degree angle, prompting a discussion on calculating its maximum height, time in the air, and horizontal distance traveled. The problem involves breaking down the motion into vertical and horizontal components but restricts the use of direct formulas for range and height. Initially, the user struggled to find the time and final position despite using kinematic equations. Ultimately, the user resolved the problem independently, indicating a successful understanding of the concepts involved. The discussion highlights the importance of analyzing projectile motion in two dimensions.

Homework Statement


A rocket is launched from level ground with a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal. Find:

a) Maximum height reached by the rocket.
b) The time rocket is in the air.
c) the horizontal distance where the rocket lands.


Homework Equations


V= Vo + at
V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a(X-Xo)
X= Xo +Vo(t) + (1/2)at^2

The Attempt at a Solution



Divided the entire motion into two phases 1st and 2nd, Got x and y components of everything. Can't seem to find the time and final position anyway. I am not allowed to use the direct formula for Range and Height.
Help please!

You'll have to show some of your work so that we'll know where to help. What are your "phases"?
 
Well I meant the two different phases for first and second half part of its motion.

Never mind I figured out how to solve this problem.
Thanks anyway.

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
