During a test a rocket (shown in Figure below) travels upward at 75 m/s, and when it is 40 m from the ground its engine fails. Determine the maximum height SB reached by rocket and its speed just before it hits the ground. While in motion the rocket is subjected to a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 due to gravity. Neglect the effect of air resistance.

During a test a rocket (shown in Figure below) travels upward at 75 m/s, and when it is 40 m from the ground its engine fails. Determine the maximum height SB reached by rocket and its speed just before it hits the ground. While in motion the rocket is subjected to a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 due to gravity. Neglect the effect of air resistance. [Assume a downward direction is negative].
