In the year 2055, a rocket was launched from a research laboratory on Mars. Mars has essentially no atmosphere. The test rocket had an initial acceleration of 8.0 m/s2. Its engine burned for 7.00 seconds, and then the rocket coasted in a condition of free fall, under the influence of Mars's gravity, which is 3.71 m/s2. Find the maximum height reached by the rocket.

h = 618.64 m

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the height gained by rocket while the fuel is burning. We use 2nd equation of motion for that purpose:

h₁ = Vit + (1/2)at²

where,

h₁ = height gained during the burning of fuel

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = 7 s

a = acceleration = 8 m/s²

Therefore,

h₁ = (0 m/s)(7 s) + (1/2)(8 m/s²)(7 s)²

h₁ = 196 m

Now we use 1st equation of motion to find final speed Vf:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 m/s + (8 m/s²)(7 s)

Vf =  56 m/s

Now, we calculate height covered in free fall motion. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2ah₂ = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = - 3.71 m/s²

h₂ = height gained during free fall motion = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, rocket will stop at highest point)

Vi = 56 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(-3.71 m/s²)h₂ = (0 m/s)² - (56 m/s)²

h₂ = 422.64 m

So the total height gained will be:

h = h₁ + h₂

h = 196 m + 422.64 m

h = 618.64 m

the entire statement is true and correct.  

there's no diagram, nothing is illustrated, and no question is asked.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
