Physics

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well,giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.2 m/s at ground level. Theengines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1060 m. At thatpoint its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with anacceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (You will need to considerthe motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motionseparately.)
