1. The accompanying figure shows the graph of the velocity (ft / sec) of a model rocket for the first 8 sec after launch. The rocket ac- celerated straight up for the first 2 sec and then coasted to reach its maximum height at t = 8 sec. 200 150 100 50 2 4 6 Time after launch (sec) a. Assuming that the rocket was launched from ground level, about how high did it go? (This is the rocket in Section 3.3, Exercise 17, but you do not need to do Exercise 17 to do the exercise here.) b. Sketch a graph of the rocket's height above ground as a func- tion of time for 0 < t< 8. Velocity (ft/sec)
