|
An advanced free-fall acceleration problem involving 2 parts and 2 objects. Problem: You are wearing your rocket pack (total mass = 75 kg) that accelerates you upward at a constant 10.5 m/s^2. While preparing to take pictures of the beautiful view, you drop your camera 5.0 seconds after liftoff. 5.0 seconds after you drop the camera, (a) what is the camera’s velocity and (b) how far are you from the camera?
