Homework Statement


ok, so i need to find max velocity and force of friction of a model rocket. The rocket weights 83.8 g, accelerates at 5.78 m/ss. Its max height is 84.99 m. please help


Homework Equations


ok for Ff = μkFn
as for Vmax i have no idea


The Attempt at a Solution


ok so i found Fn = 82.266 N because u have to convert grams to kg. Thats all i can figure out.
 
on Phys.org
a little confused.

is the acceleration constant?

if so then how does it have a max height if it is constantly accelerating?

or is it an initial acceleration?
 
the question is related to my model rocket we launched a week ago, the accceleration is average from initial to the max height. don't know if that makes sense.
