12.6
A 0.5 ounce model rocket is launched vertically from rest at time \( t \)\(=0\) seconds with a thrust of 0.9 lb for 0.3 seconds and no thrust for \( t>0.3\mathrm{~s}\). Neglecting air resistance and the decrease in mass of the rocket, determine (a) the maximum height h reached by the rocket, (b) the time required to reach this maximum height. Provide simple free-body diagrams and kinetic diagrams for the rocket in it's two conditions (thrust and no-thrust).
