Before the second stage starts burning, the rocket slows down at a rate of 13 m/s2 [DOWN] for a short time. If the rocket slows from 1200 m/s [up] over a period of 4.8 seconds, what is the speed of the rocket after this deceleration? I've attatched a photo here that goes with the question :) Thanks so much!arrow_forward
