Question:
A missile silo is used to launch interplanetary rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of ms at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at ms until it reaches an altitude of m At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of msYou will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the freefall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations
A Determine the velocity of the rocket in ms at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time in s
B Determine the maximum altitude of the rocket in m and the total time in s for the rocket to reach this altitude from ground level.
C Determine the rocket's velocity in ms just before ground impact and its total time of flight in s
