A rocket is launched straight up from Earth's surface at 2100 m/s. a By ignoring air resistance and considering the conservation of mechanical energy, determine the maximum height it reaches. b. What other information would be required to solve this problem in part (a) if air resistance is not ignored? How would your answer in part (a) change? Take the Gravitational constant to be G = 6.67 x 10 11m³ kgs2, the mass of Earth as Mg = 5.98 x 1024kg and the radius of Earth as Rg = 6.37 x 106 m.
