A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 31.8 m/s2 for 3.58 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3.58 s but does not stop. How high does it rise above the ground?

first we find the height and velocity of the rocket at the end of the acceleratio phase

dist = 1/2 a t^2 = 1/2 x 31.8m/s/sx(3.58x)^2 = 203.8m

vel = a t = 31.8m/s/s x 3.58s = 113.8m/s

once the engine cuts off, the acceleration on the rocket is -9.8m/s/s, and we can find the height the rocket rises after cut off from

vf^2=v0^2 + 2ad

vf=final velocity = 0 at max ht
v0=113.8m/s at the beginning of the coasting phase
a=-9.8m/s/s
d=distance traveled in coasting phase

0=113.8^2 +2(-9.8)d => d= 660.7m

total height above the surface = 864.4m
