Model Rocket-Speed-Height-Physics Example Problem
This physics educational video shows how to calculate the speed and height of a model rocket given the rocket mass, thrust of the rocket, and time the thrust is active. The mass of the rocket is assumed to be constant so the calculated acceleration will be constant and Calculus tools are not required. The launch occurs at the surface of the Earth. Air resistance is important in an actual launch but it is ignored for this calculation. Introductory General Physics
