- A spaceship starts at rest, and then launches vertically into the air with an upward acceleration of 2.0 m/s2. When it reaches a height of 500 m, it runs out of fuel; after this point its acceleration is due to gravity, i.e. 9.8 m/s2 downward. (ignore air resistance)(a) How long does it take the spaceship to run out of fuel? (b) What is its velocity at the point when it runs out of fuel? (c) What is the maximum height that the spaceship reaches? (d) For how much time (total, from launch) is the rocket in the air?
