The parabolic flight of an aircraft used to simulate weightlessness can be modelled by the quadratic equation h =-10 + 300t + 9750 where h is the altitude of the aircraft, in meters, and t is the time, in seconds, since weightlessness was achieved. Determine the maximum altitude reached by the aircraft and when it occurred.
