Question

A 3.50-kg model rocket is launched straight up. It reaches amaximum height of 109 m above where its engine cuts out, eventhough air resistance performs -736 J of work on the rocket. Whatwould have been this height if there were no air resistance?

Number

Units

the tolerance is+/-2%

Explanation / Answer

if there is no air resistance then even the work done by the resistance which is converted in to heat contributes for mechanical energy hence extra height reached= 736/3.5*9.8=21.45m hence=130.45m
