I can not solve this task in Prime (with units) Help me please!

In Mathcad 15 - no problem (see the attach). We can add air resistance, g=f(h) etc

This is similar to the use of alcohol - first bad, then good, then bad again:

It seems starightforward enough in Prime 2 - see attached. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Thanks, Alan!

I have done it too by help the Mathcad 15 Mathcad Prime convertor.

But I cannot do it direct.

I didn't use the converter (I still only use M15 F000, so the converter doesn't work), I did it direct without any problems. In answer to your red questions: I also get the mess of words on the side of the solve block; and the blue h of the h(t) in odesolve; and the messy looking marker label. By increasing the number of -plotting points it is easy enough to get rid of the velocity glitch near tend:

I'm somewhat lost as to where you are going with this Valery! Does this mean you are now able to program this problem succesfully in Prime (something you didn't manage earlier)?

I also

But one interesting problem...

For animation and for this group

One North Korean rocket

The first part of the rocket flight - is a virtual flight (h=0). The rocket is on the start platform and burns fuel (m.f) as long as its weight (m*g) becomes (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Zero) equal its engine thrust (F)

I don't think the calculation shows this. At the end of the calculated "virtual" flight there is a significant upward velocity! If the rocket stayed on the platform just burning fuel it would have a zero upward velocity at the point of take-off.

Yes - no limit to improve calculation

Add h=g(h) and air resistance - with cloud functions!
