Question 619039: the height of the rocket in meters t seconds after it is launched is approximated by the polynimial 0.5 at to the second power +vt+h where a is always -9.8, v is the initial velocity, and h is the initial height. A 300x was launched from a height of 10 meters. What was its height after 3 seconds?

-------------
h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 10
------------
No initial speed is given.
Also, rockets have motors, they're not simple ballistic objects.
This is a projectile.
