    Finding Max Altitude Reached by Rocket with Constant Acceleration

    Thank you for the reply. I did originally assume that I would have to take the y component of the acceleration which would be gSinAlpha. Unfortunately on my first attempt I confused matters by still accounting for the downward acceleration due to gravity during the period before T. I also quite...

    Finding Max Altitude Reached by Rocket with Constant Acceleration

    Homework Statement A Rocket is initially at rest on the ground. The rocket flies off in a straight line at an angle 53.1 degrees above the horizontal with a constant acceleration of magnitude \textbf{g}. The engines stop at a time \textbf{T} after launch, after which the rocket is in...
