How far from the base of the wall does the rocket land

Reference no: EM13715732

Problem: A 400g model rocket is resting horizontally at the top edge of a 40-m-high wall when it is accidentally bumped. The bump pushes it off the edge with a horizontal speed of 0.5 m/s and at the same time causes the engine to ignite. When the engine fires, it exerts a constant 20 N horizontal thrust away from the wall.

Part A: How far from the base of the wall does the rocket land?

I need help to determine how far from the base of the wall does the rocket land.
