The engine burns out after t1=2.8 s . At that time, the rocket is y=105 m above the ground
1- Calculate the acceleration of the rocket while the engine was burning, a1. First draw a pictorial representation properly labeled with known and unknown data. Remember when choosing an initial and final snapshot for analysis the acceleration must be constant for the entire motion between your chosen snapshots. Solve this and remaining problems symbolically until the final step. (I will take off points if you don’t.
2- Calculate the velocity, v1,f, of the rocket when the engine burns out
3- Determine the total time of flight. (Hint, determine the time of flight from the moment the rocket runs out of fuel to the moment it reaches the ground and add your result to the time it took for the engine to burn out.) First draw a pictorial representation properly labeled with known and unknown data. Remember when choosing an initial and final snapshot for analysis the acceleration must be constant for the entire motion between your chosen snapshots.
4- Calculate the maximum height above the ground that the rocket attains.
