Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims that it will maintain a constant thrust of 13.8 N until the engine is used up.
Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range-finder to meaure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 16.8 m . He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 21.3 m .
If the rocket has a mass of 0.613 kg , how much work WD is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?
