It has a constant thrust for the first second, then no thrust after that. We will assume no air friction and ignore the mass change of the rocket for now. Determine how long it will take until the rocket reaches maximum height. secondsarrow_forwardA 1,910 kg African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana) is pushing a 2,890 kg car.
