Answer:

The maximum height, rounded to the nearest foot is 12,469ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when

v-gt =0

t = \dfrac{220ft}{9.8ms^{-2}} \\\\t = 2.45s

Now, the vertical displacement y(t) of the rock is given by the function

y(t)=vt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2 +h_0,

where h_0 is the height of the mountain . Putting in the numbers we get:

y(t)=220t-\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 +10,000

y(t)=220t-4.9t^2 +10,000

Now, when the rock reaches its maximum height at t =22.45, we have

y_{max}=y(t)=220(22.45)-4.9(22.45)^2 +10,000

\boxed{y_{max} = 12,469ft}

which is the maximum height the rock reaches.
