While testing the path of the rocket while ascending towards the space, it was found that the rocket rises 480 Kilo-meters in the first minute and then rises 99% of the distance travelled in the previous minute for subsequent 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 earth on 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 engines off.

Through the design process, you need to check multiple details in various components and parts of the rocket
systems. You had to solve the following equations throughout the process:
G. The voltage, V, across a capacitor is given by: V= 9(1 − ?
−0.1?
). Evaluate the time taken, t, for V to
equal 3 volts, show all steps of your solution.
