Unit Activity: Functions, Task 2, Part C The force provided by the rocket’s engines is not the only force that acts on the rocket, however. The force of gravity also acts on the rocket. This force results in the downward acceleration of the rocket at a constant rate of g. A second function, G(t), can be written to describe the height of the rocket if gravity were the only force acting on it.

Considering your response to part B and your knowledge of functions, write the equation of G(t). You may want to conduct online research to identify the kinematic equation for the displacement of an object under constant acceleration. Keep in mind that the rocket starts at rest.

After writing your equation, explain how you arrived at your answer.

For reference, this is the first part to activity that relates to this problem :
