The correct response that will be used to describe this particular element would be the third option, since all of the other options are incorrect and apply to different elements in their groups. The element is a metal and will react with a non metal.
Before the engines fail
, the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are


and its velocity vector has components


After
, its position is


and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components


After the engine failure
, the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by


and its velocity vector's components are


where we take
.
a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which
:

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve
for
, then add 3 seconds to this time:

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of
.
c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute
for this time
