A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height 1.74 km, the rocket reaches a speed of 251m/s. At that height, the rocket runs of fuel so there is nolonger any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward. a. assuming constant acceleration, what is the rocket's accerlation in m/s2 during the period from its launch until it runs out of fuel? b. afther the rocket's engine turns off at a height of 1.74km it continues to move upward due tothe velocity it reached. what is the rocket's acceleration in m/s2 during the engine shutoff until it returns to the ground. Ignore aire resistance c. calculate the maximum height, in meters, above groudn level that the rocket reaches
