1. The distance traveled during the first second (positiveacceleration): y=v0t+12at2=0+12(30)(12)=15m
The speed after this first second: v2=2ay v2=v02+2ay=0+2(30)(15) v=30 m/s
The additional distance traveled (acceleration of g in thenegative direction). At the peak of the flight, the velocityis zero:
v2=2ay
y=v22a=0v22(g)=v22g=3022(9.8)=45.92
Other equation(s) of motion could have also been used to findthis distance.
Total distance traveled: y=15+45.92=60.92m 2. d=v0t+12at2 the initial velocity is zero. I am going to assume that theacceleration is the average acceleration of the rocket, that is thevertical acceleration minus the acceleration of gravity. I am also assumeing that the acceleration is in meters/secondsquared. this means that:
d=0+12(30)(1)=15m

v=at=30msd=v2vo22a=(302)(2x9.8)d=45.92m+h (h is the initial height before it ran out offuel)

h=0.5(30)(12)=15 md=45.92+15=60.92m

Using the equation v=v0+at, we can find the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuel. Since the rocket starts from rest (v0=0), the equation simplifies to v=at. Substituting the given values, we have v=(30ms2)·(1s)=30 m/s.
Next, we can use the equation s=v0t+12at2 to find the displacement of the rocket during the 1 second interval. Again, since the rocket starts from rest, the equation simplifies to s=12at2. Substituting the given values, we have s=12(30ms2)·(1s)2=12·30 m=15 m.
Therefore, the rocket will rise to a height of 15 meters when it runs out of fuel, disregarding air resistance.

Step 1: Given:
Δy=vit+12at2
where Δy is the change in height, vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
Step 2: Given that the rocket rises vertically with an acceleration of 30m/s2 for 1s, we can substitute the values into the equation:
Δy=0·1+12·30·(1)2
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Δy=12·30m
Therefore, the rocket will rise to a height of 15m.

Answer: 15 meters
Explanation:
s=ut+12at2
where:
- s is the displacement (height in this case),
- u is the initial velocity (0 m/s since the rocket starts from rest),
- a is the acceleration (30 m/s2),
- and t is the time (1 s).
We want to find the height the rocket will reach, so we need to calculate s using the given values. Plugging in the values into the equation, we have:
s=0·1+12·30·(1)2
Simplifying the equation gives us:
s=0+12·30·1
Calculating further:
s=0+12·30
s=0+15
Thus, the rocket will rise to a height of 15 meters.
