20. If a 2500 kg rocket is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of 5.0 km/sec, how high can it reach before it returns back down? (The mass of the Earth is 5.98 x 10 kg, radius is 6.38 x 10° m) 24 h =5000 m 21. Find the gravitational acceleration at this highest point. This would be the initial downward acceleration of the rocket.
