Midair Propulsion

We launch a projectile at an angle \(\theta = {{ params.theta }}^{\circ}\) in degrees and speed \(v_0 = {{ params.v }}\ \rm{m/s}\) in a flat plane. At the peak of the projectile motion, a rocket turns on and starts accelerating the projectile in the \(x\)-axis according to the function \( a(t) = {{ params.C }} \times t^{ {{ params.N }} } \) in \(\rm{m/s^2}\), where t is the time since the rocket turned on. Find the range it travels over the flight duration.
