\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer I got was: 25 seconds because I did 40000
\n" ); document.write( " ------ = 25
\n" ); document.write( "I think its wrong though 1600

SEE THE FOLLOWING AND DO
\n" ); document.write( "IN FPS SYSTEM ....G=32 FT/SEC^2..SO USE -32 INSTEAD OF -9.8 IN THE FOLLOWING
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "PLEASE HELP ME A rocket is fired with an initial velocity of 800 meters per second. When will it be 32000 meters above the starting point?
\n" ); document.write( "Than answer I got was : 40 second because I divided... I think its wrong thought
\n" ); document.write( "AS THE ROCKET GOES UP AGAINST EARTHS GRAVITATIONAL FORCE , ITS VELOCITY REDUCES,GIVEN BY ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY =-9.8 M/SEC^2..THE FORMULA TO BE USED IS
\n" ); document.write( "S = UT + (G/2)T^2....WHERE
\n" ); document.write( "U = INIYIAL VELOCITY = 800 M/SEC
\n" ); document.write( "T = TIME ELAPSED IN SECS.
\n" ); document.write( "G=ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY = - 9.8 M/SEC^2 FOR UPWARD TRAVEL...SO..WE GET
\n" ); document.write( "32000 = 800T -(9.8/2)T^2=800T-4.9 T^2
\n" ); document.write( "4.9T^2-800T+32000 =0
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+%28800+%2B-+sqrt%28+800%5E2-4%2A4.9%2A32000+%29%29%2F%282%2A4.9%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "T=70.1 WHILE GOING UP AND
\n" ); document.write( "T=93.2 WHILE FALLING DOWN.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
