A missile silo is used to launch military rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
