    A model rocket is fired vertically from an elevated launch pad at an initial height of 4 feet at an initial velocity of 350 feet per second. The gravitational force of Earth is pulling the rocket down at a rate of 16 feet per second per second. The formula for‚ s(t)‚ for the function that models the height of the water balloon at time t‚ in seconds‚ is s(t)= -16t2 + 350t + 4. We can determine how long it takes for the rocket to land from the graph where the function intercepts the x-axis because

    1) A small rocket is being designed to make wind shear measurements in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Before testing begins‚ the designers are developing a simulation of the rocket’s trajectory. They have derived the following equation that they believe will predict the performance of the test rocket‚ where t is time elapsed in seconds. The equation gives the height above the ground level at time t. The first term (60) is the height above ground level of the nose of the rocket. height = 60 + 2
