Chaotic Nonsense

PostPosted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 5:12 am


A rocket sled is launced across a salt flat at a constant acceleration of 13 m/s. After t1 seconds, it stops accelerating, and continues at the consant velocity v. after t2 seconds, the rocket has travelled 5.3*10^3 meters. The total time for the trip from start to the end of t2 was 90 seconds. Find t1, t2 and v.

Note: t2 is not 90, it is actually an interval of time that starts at t1 and ends at 90.

I'll post what I got later. If I told you now, it'd ruin the fun of the problem.

Aw, you people are no fun. When I did the problem, I got t1 as about 4.7 seconds, t2 as 85.3, and v as 61.1 m/s

haha I'm sorry nobody took the liberty of doing this yet, keep it up, I'm sure someone will do it eventually, it just might not be when you expect it or immediately. Remember this guild isn't exactly the super fast S&T forum.

I did the problem, but I figured if I came along and posted my answer it kind of ruins it for anyone else who wanted to solve it, so I was just going to wait until you posted your answer and compare mine.

Of course, I have since forgotten what my answer was, as well as where I wrote it down, but that's life for you. I think I got something similar, or at least I remember my t_1 being 4.x seconds.
