A rocket is launched from a hill, the hill is 80 ft high and the rocket has a velocity of 64 ft/s what is the maximum height of the rocket and when will it reach that height?

Respuesta :

Answer:143.60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of hill [tex]h=80\ ft[/tex]

the launch velocity of the rocket is [tex]u=64\ ft/s[/tex]

At maximum height, the velocity of the rocket is zero

using the third  equation of motion [tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 0^2-64^2=2\times (-32.2)\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{64^2}{64.4}=63.60\ ft[/tex]

The maximum height will be [tex]80+63.60=143.60\ ft[/tex]
