A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration...

A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.10 m/s2 . At 30.0 s after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall.

What is the height of the rocket when the engine fails?

Find the magnitudes of the rocket's velocity and acceleration at its highest point.

How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t)=96t, at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. 1919 seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to −16 ft/s in 5 s. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate. (a) Determine the position function s and the velocity function v(for all times t). v(t)=    if 0≤t≤3    ...
