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 19,300 km/h to 1600 km/h in 4.0 min. 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 acceleration during each stage was constant. (a) Find the rocket’s acceleration (in m/s2) during each stage. (b) What total distance (in km) did the rocket travel during stages A, B, and C?
