Question:
The altitude (in feet) of a model rocket tt sec into a trial flight is given by the following equation.
s = f(t) = −4t 3 + 24t 2 + 4 (t ≥ 0)
a. Find an expression for the rocket's velocity vv at any time tt .
b. Compute the rocket's velocity when t = 0, 2, 4, and 6. Interpret your results.
c. Using the results from the solution to part (b), find the maximum altitude attained by the rocket. Hint: At its highest point, the velocity of the rocket is zero.
