    Finding a rocket's speed at height h

    I substituted 0 for vi, as the rocket is initially stopped. I am looking for Vf. So: Vf^2=0+2asΔs Vf^2=2asΔs I then substituted a=Fthrust/m So: Vf^2=2(Fthrust/m)Δs Δs at any given moment equals h so I substituted h for Δs. Then took the square root of both sides. Vf=sqrt(2h(Fthrust/m)) It...
