Problema Solution

A toy rocket was launched from the ground straight up with an initial velocity of 144 ft/sec. How mawny seconds after launch was the rocker 128 feet above the ground?

Answer provided by our tutors

s(t) = -16t^2+192t = 0

-16t=-192


t=192/16 = 12 seconds


s(t)=-16t^2+144t

-16t^2 = -144t

16t =144

t = 9 seconds
