# Why is this question on rocket motion on hold?

Well I can read the reason why my question was put on hold

However I wonder if that would be the good action for questions like these. I honestly did a lot already, however everything I always saw was just "beating around the point". And I knew I missed a simple fact from the text in the question.

A comment already gave the answer (as I showed), which was simply that if the thrust to weight is constant, the accelleration is also constant.
I did no realise this, and without this one can't beat the question. I started the question thus with "I have no idea how to start this...", simply because I saw that in whatever I would do I would miss a value - and any extra information would determine which method to use.

So this question could both be answered easily as well as helps understanding. I could point all things I did already, and then you would all look into a mistake in my calculations or something. But I knew that wasn't the problem (and thus a waste of everyone's time) and I knew the problem was misinterpreting the problem.

Is closing really good for actual questions about "understanding information given"?

• Quoting the policy, It's not enough to just show your work and ask where you went wrong. If you just need someone to check your work, you can always seek out a friend, classmate, or teacher. As a rule of thumb, a good conceptual question should be useful even to someone who isn't looking at the problem you happen to be working on – Manishearth Jan 30 '14 at 13:56
• Which quite frankly above question was, as the "answer" (in comment) shows that with a constant $\psi$ the acceleration is also constant. – paul23 Jan 30 '14 at 14:04
