Mars Landing. In January 2004, NASA landed exploration vehicles on Mars. Part of the descent consisted of the following stages: Stage A: Friction with the atmosphere reduced the speed from to in 4.0 min. Stage B: A parachute then opened to slow it down to 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 acceleration during each stage was constant. (a) Find the rockets acceleration (in ) during each stage. (b) What total distance (in km) did the rocket travel during stages A, B, and C?
