During a test a rocket travels upward at 75 meters/second, and when it is 40 meters from the ground its engine fails. Determine the maximum height h reached by the rocket and its speed just before it hits the ground. While in motion the rocket is subjected to a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 due to gravity. Neglect the effect of air resistance.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.4 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1200 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a)...

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.2 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1060 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2.
