PROBLEM 11.44 Two rockets are launched at a fireworks performance. Rocket A is launched with an initial velocity v0 and rocket B is launched 4 s later with the same initial velocity. The two rockets are timed to explode simultaneously at a height of 73 m, as A is falling and B is rising. Assuming determine (a) (a) the the initial initial Assuming aa constant constant acceleration acceleration g = 9.81 9.81 m/s m/s22, determine velocity v0 , (b) the velocity of B relative to A at the time of the explosion.
SOLUTION Choose x positive upward.
Constant acceleration a = − g Rocket A:
x = 0, v = v0 , t = 0
Rocket B:
x = 0, v = v0 , t = t B = 4 s
Rocket launch data:
Rocket A: v A = v0 − gt
Velocities:
Rocket B: vB = v0 − g (t − t B ) Rocket A: x A = v0t −
Positions:

PROBLEM 11.45 In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 38 m and both boats are traveling at a constant speed of 168 km/h. At t = 0 , the boats accelerate at rates. Knowing Knowing that that when when BB passes at constant constant rates. passes A, A, t t == 88 ss and and v A = 228 km/h, determine (a) the acceleration of A, (b) the acceleration of B.
SOLUTION (a) Acceleration of A. A: v A = ( v A )0 + a At ,
(v A )0 = 168 km/h = 46.67 m/s v A = 228 km/h = 63.33 m/s
At t = 8 s, aA =

When t = 8 s, Hence,
(vB )0 − (vA )0 = 0
and
x A − xB = 0 0 = 38 +
1 ( a A − aB )(8)2 , 2
or
aB = a A + 1.1875 = 2.08 + 1.1875
a A − aB = − 1.1875 aB = 3.27 m/s 2 �
