what equation would i use to find the max velocity and max alt of a rocket. the probem gave me mass of rocket (g), mass of engine (g), mass of propellant (g), average thrust of engine(Newtons), burn duration of the engine (seconds). i got an example which is massrocket=23,mass engin=16.2,massproppelant=3.12, averagethrust=8 and burndurationengine=.5
their max vel=101.37 and max alt = 549.621
it gave me some equations which are x=x0+vt , v=v0+at , x=x0+v0t+.5at"square" and f=ma
(x=distance,v=velocity, t=time, a= acceleration, f=force, m=mass and 9.8 as grav m/s"square
i need better understanding of what information goes where plug into equation
