Thank you for the help.

The 18 Newtons is assumed to have already accounted for gravity in my textbook so is the net force acting on the rocket during the first 20 meters.

Homework Statement A 1Kg rocket is fired off. The engine provides a thrust of 18 Newtons for 20 meters. What is the maximum height achieved by the rocket? Assume no loss of mass and no friction. Gravity=9.8m/s^2 Homework Equations Work=Force x distance Force=Mass x acceleration(or gravity)...
