You must determine the acceleration of a rocket so that its equipment can be deisgned to survive. The rocket will have a burn time of t = 30secs, during which time it flies straight up with a constant acceleration a; call this "Phase 1" of the experiment. After the fuel is exhusted, the rocket will enter free-fall; call this "Phase 2". The total time of flight of the rocket must be T = 300secs.
A) What should you make the acceleration of the rocket, a, when the engine is on?
B) What is the maximum altitude of the rocket.
