A rocket is launched at an angle of 56.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 101 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 29.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile.

Total time of flight?
Horizontal range?
