Below is an excel file of the force from a rocket as a function of time. If the rocket has a mass of 121 grams, a diameter of 3 cm, how high will it go? You can assume an air resistance coefficient of 1/2.

• rocket.xls

Some hints:

• Use Excel
• To open the file in Excel, right-click, or control-click on the link and choose "save linked file to..."
• You can assume the mass of the rocket does not change (although this is not true)
• You can estimate the density of air as 1 kg/m^3
• What forces are acting on the rocket?
• Create a column for each force, for the net force, and a column for the position (similar to how you do in VPython)
