question mark

A rocket is fired vertically and ascends with a constant vertical acceleration of 20 m/s2 for 1.0 min. Its fuel is then all used and it continues as a free-fall particle. (a) What is the maxi- mum altitude reached? (b) What is the total time elapsed from take off until the rocket strikes the Earth? (Ignore the variation of g with altitude).

total time t=60s
net accelaration a=20-10=10m/s2 upwards
  1.  displacement or maximum altitude=a*t2/2=20*602/2=36000m
  2. total time elapsed=(2*height/g)1/2=72001/2s

Therefore the maximum height attained by the rocket is 110,000m.
