calculus accuracy a simple single-stage rocket

hello @all,

what is wrong by calculation? some results are difficult.

Seems that the problem is that you're using the propellant mass as a weight (and weights are forces). There are not issues using g in feets, but if formulas are taken for the definition of earth acceleration in US system maybe isn't that easy.

Regards. Alvaro.




sorry, i say mass will usefull by impulse and momentum calculation.

and OSCAR BIBLARZ.

The trajectory angle should under 80 deg to bee calculed also 79,3 deg. , the impact angle 79,7 deg.
