A small rocket for gathering weather data has a mass of 30
Chapter 8, Problem 8.7(choose chapter or problem)
A small rocket for gathering weather data has a mass of 30 kg and generates 1500 N of thrust. On a windy day, the wind exerts a 20 N horizontal force on the rocket. If the rocket is launched straight up, what is the shape of its trajectory, and by how much has it been deflected sideways when it reaches a height of 1.0 km? Because the rocket goes much higher than this, assume theres no significant mass loss during the first 1.0 km of flight
