9. A rocket is launched from Wallops Island:
a. The rocket leaves the ground from rest and reaches a height of 1000 meters in 6
seconds. What is the average velocity of the rocket after 6 seconds?
b. Again, the rocket leaves the ground from rest and reaches a velocity of 400 m/s after 10
seconds. What is the average acceleration after 10 seconds?
c. If after the rocket reaches 1000 meters, the engines fail. Ohhhhh, bad day for the
rocket! Describe the motion of the rocket from 1000 meters until the rocket crashes
into the ground in terms of a, v, and position:
10. Pick your favorite Physicist who lived between 1900 and 2021. Write a short description
of what great achievement he/she made to Physics.
