The engines of a 1.20 x 10^5 N rocket exert an upward thrust of 2.00 x 10^5 N for 1.50 minutes upon lift off.

What is the impulse exerted on the rocket?

What is the velocity of the rocket at the end of the 1.50 minute period?

impulsr=force*time=2E5*90 N-seconds

changevelocity=impulse/massrocket

I don't understand where the 90 comes from

1.5 minutes is 90 seconds, last time I checked.
