Answer:
Approximately
.
Step-by-step explanation:
If initial velocity, final velocity, and time taken are all found, then the change in height (displacement) can be found as:
.
For example, during the
of constant acceleration at
, initial velocity was
and final velocity would be:
.
Displacement during this period of time would be:
.
During the next part of the flight, initial velocity was
(from the first part of flight) and final velocity would be
when the rocket reaches maximum height. Acceleration was given to be
(negative since the rocket is accelerating downward,) but time is not known. Apply the following equation to find the change in height (displacement):
.
The total change in height would be approximately
.
