Question
A model rocket is fired vertically from rest. It has a constant acceleration of 21.9 m/s^2 for the first 1.50 s. Then the fuel is exhausted, and it is in free fall. The rocket has a mass of 99.8 g, the mass of the fuel is much less than 99.8 g (I.e. ignore the mass of the fuel). Ignore air resistance. (a) Calculate how high does the rocket travel. (b) how long after lift-off does the rocket return to the ground.
