3. When the conditions are just right, the team will launch a rocket to travel up to a height of miles. They will launch the second rocket two minutes later that will travel up to miles. By staggering the timing of the launches, the two rockets will be able to gather data simultaneously at two altitudes through the ionosphere as they.

9. When astronauts launch to space in a rocket they experience large accelerations. To practice working in this environment NASA puts them in a centrifuge: a device that spins them in a circle so that they experience centripetal acceleration. If the astronaut is strapped in m from the axis and rotates once every. a. What is the angular velocity? b.
