A rocket is launched at an angle of 58.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 104 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. What is the total time of flight? What is the horizontal range?
