with negligible friction along the track in the vertical plane as shown. If the propelling rocket exerts a
constant thrust T of 1.5 kN from A to position B where it is shut off, determine the distance s which
the vehicle rolls up the incline before stopping. The loss of mass due to the expulsion of gases by the
rocket is small and may be neglected.

e, determine the velocity of the ball and the cart just after the ball strikes A. Also, determine the total
time needed for the ball to strike A, rebound, then strike B, and rebound and then return to the
center of the cart. Neglect friction.
32/ The girl throws the 0.5-kg ball toward the wall with an initial velocity v A = 10 m/s. Determine
