Question
A toy rocket moving vertically upward passes by a 1.8 m -high window whose sill is 7.0 m above the ground. The rocket takes 0.16 s to travel the 1.8 m height of the window.
a) What was the launch speed of the rocket? Assume the propellant is burned very quickly at blastoff.
b) How high will the rocket go?
