A rocket is launched straight up from the earth’s surface at a speed of 1.80×104 .
If the rocket speeds up it is accelerating. The acceleration that the vehicle is constant with the amount of time it takes. If a bolt fell off the rocket at a certain time, we can determine the distance in relation to the final velocity of the moment the bolt fell.
This answer is a night launch, which means that the units have not been given. Suppose you’re talking m/s. The escape velocity v (esc) is 11286 m/s. You don’t subtract one velocity from another, as it’s energy that is conserved. So mv (final)2/2 =mv02/2 – mv[esc]2/2. So v (final) = √(v02-v(esc)2).
