Compute the total time the rocket is in the air

Reference no: EM13681563

You have designed a rocket to be used to sample the local atmosphere for pollution. It is fired vertically with a constant upward acceleration of 18 m/s². After 26 second, the engine shuts off and the rocket continues rising (in freefall) for a while. (Ignore any effects due to air resistance.) The rocket eventually stops rising and then falls back to the ground. You want to get a sample of air that is 20 kilometer above the ground.

(a) Determine the highest point your rocket reaches?

(b) Compute the total time the rocket is in the air.
