A rocket is launched from the ground at a 75 degree angle from the horizontal. The rocket’s acceleration is 23 m/s2 throughout the engine’s burn, maintaining the rocket’s angle with the horizontal. Unfortunately, the engine fails after 12 sec, leaving the rocket as a simple projectile. a) What is the highest height the rocket achieves?  b) What is the final range (how far from the launch point does the rocket land)? c) What is the time from launch to touch down?
