Alice tapes a small, 200 g model rocket to a 400 g ice hockey puck. The rocket generates 8.0 N of thrust. Alice orients the puck so that the rocket's nose points in the positive y-direction, then pushes the puck across frictionless ice in the positive x-direction with a speed of 2.0 m/s. The rocket fires at the exact instant the puck crosses the origin. Find an equation y(x) for the puck's trajectory then graph it.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the equation yx for the pucks trajectory we can use the equations of motion to describe the ... View the full answer
