Task 3:  Going over the work.   Place your mu values on the form for at least 3 surfaces

Using your data, try to figure out the acceleration for


a)when we first started to push the rocket
b)when the rocket was going at a constant speed
c) when the second person was pushed
d) when deceleration occured.

Create a force diagram for each of these.
