The height reached by a model rocket can be calculated using the equation h= -16t2 + vt +
where t is the time the rocket is in flight, vis the rocket's velocity, and n is the rocket's beginning
height.
Calculate the height, h at 3 seconds given that the rocket travels 85 feet per second and starts on a
launch pad 15 feet off the ground.
Knowns:
t = 3 seconds
v = 85 feet per second
n = 15 feet
If we plug all those values in, our Formula becomes h= (–16.32) + (85.3) + (15).
Solve for h
