Homer states that his rocket fell for 14 seconds and estimates that the rocket's altitude was 3000 feet.
Use the formula to find the actual distance, in feet, that the rocket fell during that time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The formula connecting H (height), t (time) and g (free fall acceleration) is

H = .

You can use g = 32.2 .

So, H =  = 3,155.6 ft.
