1. The Falcon is a rocket launched by the company Space-X. Part of the rocket (a “stage”) falls
back to Earth shortly after the launch. At a height of 152 m above the ground and a velocity
of 140 km/h downwards, the falling stage begins to fire its landing engine to slow itself down.
The engine causes the stage to accelerate at 4.9 m/s² upwards. When the stage reaches the
ground, is it traveling at a slow enough speed to land safely (less than 1 m/s)?
Hint: Ensure you draw a diagram, define your directions, convert units, and provide a
therefore statement.

2. A projectile is fired from a cliff 50 m above the ground level. The projectile is fired at 35°
above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at a target that is placed on the ground
35 m away from the base of the cliff.
a) What is the maximum height the projectile will reach before beginning its descent?

3. Two planes fly from Toronto to Philadelphia. Plane A flies via Pittsburgh whereas passengers
on plane B have a direct flight. Pittsburgh is 350 km due south of Toronto and 390 km due
west of Philadelphia. The airspeed of both planes is 400.0 km/h and a steady wind is blowing
from the east at 60.0 k
hm/h.
a) What direction must the pilot point the plan flying from Toronto to Pittsburgh? Include a
vector diagram of velocities.
