Question:
Stage B: A parachute then opened to slow it down to 321 km/h in 94 s.
Stage C: Retro rockets then fired to reduce its speed to zero over a distance of 75 m.
Assume that each stage followed immediately after the preceding one and that the acce1emtion during each stage was constant.
(a) Find the rocket's acceleration (in m/S') during each stage.
(b) What total distance (in km) did the rocket travel during stages A, B, and C?
