While testing the path of the rocket while ascending towards the space, it was found that the rocket rises 480Kilo-meters in the first minute and then rises 99% of the distance travelled in the previous minute forsubsequent minutes.D. Generate a rule for the distance travelled in each minute, is this rule geometric or arithmetic?E. Find the maximum possible height that the rocket can reach.F. If the cargo was a satellite, then it must be placed in the geostationary orbit [it is the orbit above earthon which any placed object will remain fixed above a certain point on earth], which is 36’000 Kilometers above Earth’s surface. Determine the journey time required before switching the rocket enginesoff.
