Question
A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward with constant net
acceleration, B, from time t=0 until t=T1, at which time the fuel is exhausted. Neglect air
resistance and assume that the rocket stays close enough to the ground that the acceleration due
to gravity (after the rocket engine stops) is given by g.
a) Find the maximum height, H, that the rocket reaches above the ground.
b) If the rocket's net acceleration, B, is equal to 1.0g, find an expression for the total time, Tmax,
that the rocket is in the air (i.e. from liftoff until it hits the ground) in terms of T1. You do not
need to solve your expression numerically but simplify it as much as possible.
