needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto a 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically
from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2
]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the
rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite
was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that
the satellite will reach above the launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse
after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad?
(c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
