Question

A bottle rocket takes off with a = 34.5 m/s2. It

fires until it reaches a height of 200 m, then
shuts off, and gravity takes over. How much
time does it take to reach its maximum height?
(Unit = s)​

Answer 1

Answer:3.4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity(u)=0

acceleration=34.5m/s^2

Height(h)=200m

Time =t

h=u x t - (gxt^2)/2

200=0xt+(34.5xt^2)/2

200=34.5t^2/2

Cross multiply

200x2=34.5t^2

400=34.5t^2

Divide both sides by 34.5

400/34.5=34.5t^2/34.5

11.59=t^2

t^2=11.59

Take them square root of both sides

t=√(11.59)

t=3.4 seconds
