Answer:
(a) 62.5 m
(b) 7.14 s
Explanation:
initial speed, u = 35 m/s
g = 9.8 m/s^2
(a) Let the rocket raises upto height h and at maximum height the speed is zero.
Use third equation of motion
h = 62.5 m
Thus, the rocket goes upto a height of 62.5 m.
(b) Let the rocket takes time t to reach to maximum height.
By use of first equation of motion
v = u + at
0 = 35 - 9.8 t
t = 3.57 s
The total time spent by the rocket in air = 2 t = 2 x 3.57 = 7.14 second.
