The 4 model rockets just have their engine turned off when they are at the same height. All the rockets are aimed straight up, but their speeds differ. Although they are the same size and shape, the rockets carry different loads, so their masses differ. The specific mass and speed for each rocket are given below:  A. speed = 30m/s, mass = 700g B. speed = 40m/s, mass = 500g C. speed = 20m/s, mass = 600g D. speed = 20m/s, mass = 500g How much maximum height each model rocket will reach? Why they will reach different heights?

Question

The 4 model rockets just have their engine turned off when they are at the same height. All the rockets are aimed straight up, but their speeds differ. Although they are the same size and shape, the rockets carry different loads, so their masses differ. The specific mass and speed for each rocket are given below: 

A. speed = 30m/s, mass = 700g

B. speed = 40m/s, mass = 500g

C. speed = 20m/s, mass = 600g

D. speed = 20m/s, mass = 500g

How much maximum height each model rocket will reach? Why they will reach different heights?
