Question: A model rocket is shot into the air at an angle with the earth of about 60°. The rocket is going fast initially but slows down as it reaches its highest point. It picks up speed again as it falls to earth.
(a) Sketch a graph showing the path of the rocket. Draw several velocity vectors on your graph.
(b) A second rocket has a parachute that deploys as it begins its descent. How do the velocity vectors from part (a) change for this rocket?
