At what time does the rocket land

Reference no: EM13201514

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t) = 60t at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. Fourteen seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to -18 ft/s in 5 s. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate.
