Question: A test rocket is launched vertically upward from a well, a catapult gives its initial velocity 8 0 m / s at the ground level

A test rocket is launched vertically upward from a well, a catapult gives its initial velocity 80 m/s at the ground level (y=0 m). At that same instance its engines fire and accelerate upward at 3.00 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1500 m. At the that ping its engines fail and the rocket goes in to free fall with an acceleration -9.81 m/s2
How long does the rocket stay above the ground?
What is the maximum altitude of the rocket?
What is the velocity if the rocket when it hits the ground:
