Explanation:
Given that,
h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500
for t > 0.
At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.
We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket
Using mathematics maxima and minima
let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0
dh/dt = -9.8t + 125
dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125
9.8t = 125
t = 125 / 9.8
t = 12.76s
Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point
Let find d²h / dt²
d²h / dt² = -9.8
Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.
Then, the maximum height reached is
h = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500
h = -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500
h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500
h = 1297.2 m
The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m
From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.
Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.
