I'm having trouble with a question from a past paper, please help.
A rocket is fired vertically but begins to turn towards the tangent of Earth's surface. At a height of 260m the rocket runs out of fuel and is travelling at a 65 degree angle to the horizontal and follows a parabolic trajectory before hitting the ground 12 seconds later. What was the speed of the rocket as it ran out of fuel?
