The motion of space shuttles is caused differently than that of most modes of transportation. As the fuel is burned, the hot gasses produced rush out of the bottom of the craft. This causes the space shuttle to launch into the air. Describe how hot gasses rushing out of the bottom of a space shuttle cause it to launch.

In your response, be sure to include:

something about the forces acting on the space shuttle causing it to launch.
how Newton’s third law allows the space shuttle to launch.
why there is a delay between when the fuel starts to burn and when the space shuttle launches.

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.
