A test rocket at ground level is fired straight up from rest with a net upward acceleration of 20 m/s2. After 4.0 s, the motor turns off, but the rocket continues to coast upward with insignificant air resistance. What maximum elevation does the rocket reach?

The maximum elevation the rocket will reach is 160 m.

Maximum height attained by the rocket

The maximum height reached by the rocket is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂at²

where;

  • v is the initial velocity of the rocket = 0
  • t is the time of motion
  • a is the acceleration of the rocket

substitute the given parameters and solve for maximum height.

h = 0  +  ¹/₂(20)(4)²

h = 160 m

Thus, the maximum elevation the rocket will reach is 160 m.
