At t=0, it is released from rest and engines ignited. Engines accelerate in positive Y-direction which changes with time of magnitude Bt where B = 18.00 m/s^3. Acceleration doesn't include effects of gravity. After 5 seconds have passed, fuel will run out and no longer provide upward thrust. For this homework question, I need to find the maximum height, how long until it returns to the ground and minimum height necessary to safely launch.arrow_forward
