A 500g model rocket is resting horizontally at the top edge of a 40m high wall when it is accidentally bumped. The bump pushes it off the edge with a horizontal speed of 0.5m/s and at the same time causes the engine to ignite. When the engine fires, it exerts a constant 20N horizontal thrust away from the wall.
a) How far from the base of the wall does the rocket land?
b) Describe the trajectory of the rocket while it travels to the ground.
