NASA launches a rocket at t O seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h(t) – 4.9t? + 163t + 227. - Assuming that the rocket will splash down into the ocean, at what time does splashdown occur? The rocket splashes down after seconds. How high above sea-level does the rocket get at its peak? The rocket peaks at meters above sea-level.
