A rocket accelerates upward from rest, due to the first stage, with a constant acceleration of a1= 76 m/s^2 for t1= 47s. The first stage then detached and second stage fires, providing a constant acceleration of a2= 46 m/s^2 for the time interval t2= 109s. (A) Enter an expression for the rocket's speed, v1, at time t1 in terms of the variable provided. (B) Enter an expression for the rocket's speed, v2, at the end of the second period of acceleration, in terms of the variable provided in the problem statement. (C) Using your expression for speeds v1 and v2, calculate the total distance traveled, in meters by the rocket from launch until the end of the second piece of acceleration.
