Question

Using your data, after finding initial velocities, how far does a rocket travel if its initial time was 3 seconds?

A) 1 kilometer
B) 2 kilometers
C) 3 kilometers
D) It depends on additional factors

Answer 1

The distance traveled by the rocket after 3 seconds depends on additional factors that are not provided in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far the rocket travels after 3 seconds, we need to find its initial velocity and use the formula for distance traveled with constant acceleration. From the given information, we can calculate the initial acceleration, which is determined by the exhaust velocity, rate of fuel burn, and mass of the rocket. However, the question does not provide enough information to calculate the exact initial velocity. Therefore, the answer is D) It depends on additional factors.
