A rocket is fired straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 1
0.0 and 5.00 s, respectively, with no time interval between them. In Stage 1, the rocket fuel provides an upward acceleration of 15.0 m/s2. In Stage 2, the acceleration is 10.0 m/s2. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the maximum altitude above the surface of Earth of the payload and the time required for it to return to the surface. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is constant.1) Calculate the maximum altitude.
2) Calculate time required to return to the surface (i.e. the total time of flight).
2) Calculate time required to return to the surface (i.e. the total time of flight).
