A rocket accelerates vertically from rest to an altitude of before running out of fuel.
Let us assume we need to find the velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuel.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Using the third equation of motion:
Where,
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance covered
we can calculate the speed of rocket
