You are visiting nasa and are watching a test rocket launch


1. You are visiting NASA and are watching a test rocket launch. You estimate that at launch the angle of elevation of the rocket is 60 degress and it maintains that angle with the horizontal because of thrust. You ask one of the engineers how massive the rocket is and he replies about 3000 kg and tells you that there is about 6*10^4 N(force) of thrust acting on the rocket. 50 s into the launch the engine cuts out. The engineer sees that you are a bright student and asks you to calculate:-

(a) The altitude of the rocket when the engine cut out.

(b) The total horizontal distance from the ring point to the point of impact. (Assume the ground is level)
