A kids rocket team launches one smaller rocket through a guide tube 1.7 m long. The rocket has a mass of 450 g and the exhaust pressure in the tube provides a constant net force of 265 N. I already answered part (a) I just need help with part (b) A. How fast will the rocket be moving when it exits the tube? 44.5 m/s answer The kids rocket team now launches the rocket from a baseball outfield so in lands ontop of a new parking structure, 15 m above launch point and 32 m (horizontally) from the launch point. Unfortunately, tilting the launch tube greatly increases the friction, slowing the rocket. B. What is the minimum launch speed (neglecting air resistance) so that the rocket will just barely make it to the edge of the roof?
