SOLUTION: A rocket shoots upward with a velocity of 500 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, how high will it travel? This is like a falling body problem but upside down. You start

Question 519888: A rocket shoots upward with a velocity of 500 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, how high will it travel? This is like a falling body problem but upside down. You start off with a velocity, and see how far it will travel until the velocity reaches zero. That is its highest altitude.

v^2=u^2+2as
0=(500)^2+2(32.17)*s (g=32.17ft/s^2)
(500)^2/(2*(34.17))=s
3658 ft
