Answer : D) The rocket's velocity on the trip down is the negative of the upward trip.

Step-by-step explanation : The rocket's velocity on the trip down is the negative of the upward trip. The trip up starts at 22 m/s and ends at 0 m/s. The trip down starts at 0 m/s and ends at -22 m/s. This assumes that up is the positive direction.
