A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration 49.0 m/s. The acceleration period lasts for time 7.00 s until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall. Find the maximum height ymax reached by the rocket. Ignore air resistance and assume a constant free-fall acceleration equal to 9.80 m/s Write your answer numerically in units of meters. View Available Hint(s) 20 ? 17500
