1. A toy rocket rises from the ground with a constant upward acceleration of 5 m/s2 for 6 seconds while the rocket engine is on. The engine then runs out of the fuel. Assume that frictional forces are negligible, so the rocket is in free falI, i.e., the acceleration is 10 m/s2 down. After four more seconds a parachute is released, and the rocket falls to the ground at constant speed. Make a graph of the y-velocity vs. time for the first 20 seconds of the flight toy rocket with +y chosen to be up. Label your vertical axis with units (i.e., "time (sec)") a. and include numbers on axis.
