The third stage of a rocket is injected by its booster with a velocity u of 15 000 km/h at A into an unpowered coasting flight to B. At B its rocket motor is ignited when the trajectory makes an angle of 20o with the horizontal. Operation is effectively above the atmosphere, and the gravitational acceleration during this interval may be taken as 9 m/s2, constant in magnitude and direction. Determine the time t to go from A to B. (This quantity is needed in the design of the ignition control system.) Also determine the corresponding increase h in altitude.
