A cаtаpult lаunches a test rоcket vertically upward frоm grоund level with an initial speed of 80.0 m/s. The rocket’s engines fire, causing it to experience a constant upward acceleration of 4.00 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1000 m. After the engines fail at that point, the rocket enters free fall, accelerating downward at 9.80 m/s². (a) What is the total time the rocket spends in motion above the ground? (10 points) (b) What is the height of the rocket 1.0 s after it is launched? (5 points) (c) What is the rocket’s velocity just before it hits the ground? (10 points) (Hint: You will need to treat the motion while the engine is firing and the free-fall motion separately.) Show your work and answer in the scratch paper.
