A model rocket is launched straight upward from rest. It accelerates with a constant upward acceleration of 3.39 m/s until its engines stop at an altitude of 356 m. After the engines shut off the rocket continues in free fall. The air resistance exerted on the rocket is negligible. What is the maximum altitude reached by the rocket? How long does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum altitude? How long after lift-off does the rocket hit the ground? What is the speed of the rocket at the moment it hits the ground?
