Question
**Far in space, where gravity is negligible, a 435 kg rocket traveling at 55.0 m/s fires its engines. The figure (Figure 1) shows the thrust force as a function of time. The mass lost by the rocket during these 30 s is negligible.**

**Figure:**
The graph depicts the thrust force \( F_x \) in newtons (N) on the vertical axis and time \( t \) in seconds (s) on the horizontal axis. The graph is shaped like a triangle, starting at the origin (0 s, 0 N), peaking at around 10 seconds with a maximum thrust force slightly above 1000 N, and then decreasing linearly back to 0 N at 30 seconds.

**Part C:**
What is the maximum speed of the rocket?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
