As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Determine the velocity of the rocket (in m/s) at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time (in s). (For the velocity, indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) velocity at end of engine V = 92.22 Check your kinematic equation relating vo, V1, ay, and AYo → 1 (where velocity of rocket as it clears the silo, v, = velocity of the rocket at…arrow_forwardAn astronaut exploring a distant solar system lands on a planet with a gravitational acceleration of 7.46 m/s2.
