Question

a rocket is dropped out of a window and pointed sideways toward another building. a time “tau” after it is dropped, its motor fires, giving it an acceleration of 2g in the horizontal direction (its vertical acceleration is still g downward)

in terms of tau, g, and d what are the position and velocity of the rocket when the motor fires ?

in terms of tau, g, and d, how long in total is the rocket in the air before it strikes the second building ?

please, please, please sketch these graphs: graphs of vx, vy, x, and y.

thank you !!

sidenote : this is all the information that I am given for the problem
