A model rocket is launched straight upward. Its altitude y as a function of time is given by y=bt−ct2, where b = 75 m/s , c = 4.9 m/s2, t is the time in seconds, and y is in meters.

Use differentiation to find a general expression for the rocket's velocity as a function of time.

When is the velocity zero?

Documentation: Mastering Physics

v(t)= b−2ct

t v=0 = 7.7 s
