Equations Of Motion In One Dimension: Solving another problem, Part 1

The video tutorial explains a physics problem involving a rocket launched with an initial velocity of 50 meters per second and an upward acceleration of 2 meters per second squared. The rocket's engines stop at 150 meters, and the task is to calculate the velocity at engine cutoff. The instructor emphasizes the importance of drawing a diagram to visualize the problem and uses the equation V^2 = V0^2 + 2aX to find the final velocity, which is 55.7 meters per second.

What is the acceleration of the rocket during its ascent?

What is the initial velocity of the rocket as it leaves the launchpad?

At what height do the rocket's engines cut off?

Describe the motion of the rocket after the engines cut off.

What is the final velocity of the rocket at engine cutoff?
