A rocket is launched straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 10.0 and 5.0 s, respectively, with no time interval between them. In Stage 1, the rocket fuel provides a net upward acceleration of 18 m/s2. In Stage 2, the net upward acceleration is 13 m/s2. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the maximum altitude above the surface of Earth of the payload and the time required for it to return back to the surface.

Consider the altitude is

We know

Stage 2

Consider the speedafter first stage is

Consider the altitude in 2nd stage is

Now maximum altitude above the Earth surface is

Consider the time required to return back to surface is

In the first stage of a two-stage rocket, the rocket is fired from the launch pad starting from rest but with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 upward. At 25.0 s after launch, the second stage fires for 10.0 s, which boosts the rocket’s velocity to 132.5 m/s upward at 35.0 s after launch. This firing uses up all the fuel, however, so after the second stage has finished firing, the only force acting on the rocket is gravity. Air...
