An object is launched vertically from the ground. Its engine provides constant upward acceleration during the the first part of its motion. At this instant, the object has reached 22 meters then acquires an upward velocity of 48 m/s. The engine is then turned off and the object continues to move upward and then falls back to the ground. The maximum height reached by the object is how many meters from the ground?
