The space shuttle rocket ship starts vertically upward from the launch pad acceleration of 6.5 m/sec^2. (a) find how much time it takes for the rocket ship to accelerate to 100 m/s. (b) at what height above the ground will the ship reach the velocity of 100 m/s?

(a) 15.4 second

(b) 769.23 m

Explanation:

u = 0, a = 6.5 m/s^2, v = 100 m/s

(a) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

100 = 0 + 6.5 x t

t = 15.4 second

(b) Let height covered is h.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a h

100^2 = 0 + 2 x 6.5 x h

10000 = 13 x h

h = 769.23 m

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
