6. Data are given in comma delimited text file for a toy rocket. The rocket is powered by pressurized water that is discharged from the nozzle at the beginning of the flight. a. Plot the elevation as a function of time b. Compute and plot the velocity and acceleration of the rocket as functions of time c. Write matlab code that will automatically determine the thruster time, the maximum altitude, the maximum velocity, and the maximum acceleration d. The tip of the rocket transports a 2.7 gram ping-pong ball. Determine the maximum support force for the ball.

hold on

its tabs i just searched it up so try tabs
