    The document provides examples of exam questions involving vertical motion with constant acceleration. It includes 6 examples of particles or objects being projected vertically upwards or falling freely under gravity. The questions involve calculating initial speeds, maximum heights reached, speeds when hitting the ground, and times of flight. Key concepts covered are constant acceleration, free fall, and modelling projectile motion using kinematics equations.

    ball reaches the ground. (4)

    3. A firework rocket starts from rest at ground level and moves vertically. In the first 3 s of its
    motion, the rocket rises 27 m. The rocket is modelled as a particle moving with constant
    acceleration a m s–2. Find

    (a) the value of a, (2)

    (b) the speed of the rocket 3 s after it has left the ground. (2)

    After 3 s, the rocket burns out. The motion of the rocket is now modelled as that of a particle
    moving freely under gravity.

    (c) Find the height of the rocket above the ground 5 s after it has left the ground. (4)

    6. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with speed u m s−1 from a point P at height h metres
    above the ground. The ball hits the ground 0.75 s later. The speed of the ball immediately
    before it hits the ground is 6.45 m s−1 . The ball is modelled as a particle.

    (a) Show that u = 0.9. (3)
