Question
10
### Homework Assignment: One-Dimensional Kinematics and Vectors

#### Item 10

**Problem Statement:**
A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration \(22.0 \, \text{m/s}^2\). The acceleration period lasts for time \(t_1 = 9.00 \, \text{s}\) until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall.

**Part A:**

Find the maximum height \(y_{\text{max}}\) reached by the rocket. Ignore air resistance and assume a constant free-fall acceleration equal to \(9.80 \, \text{m/s}^2\). Write your answer numerically in units of meters.

**Input Box Option:**

- \( y_{\text{max}} = \)

**Answer Submission:**
- Button labeled "Submit"

**Educational Note:**

The problem described involves calculating the maximum height reached by a rocket under the influence of a uniform acceleration initially and then deceleration due to gravity. This task reinforces the understanding of kinematic equations and the influence of different types of accelerations on an object's motion.
