We derived an equation for the velocity and position of a single staged rocket that launches vertically. From this equation, we determined if an ideal model of a rocket is able to reach escape velocity. %K Escape Velocity %K Single Staged Rocket %K Kinetic Energy %U http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/ujmm/vol3/iss1/24
