A rocket is launched upward. The height of the rocket was 68 ft at the end of the thrust portion of the flight. The rocket landed 10.5 s later.  The rocket fell freely to the ground after reaching its maximum height. The acceleration of gravity (g = 32.2 ft/s2), What is the speed of the rocket at the end of the thrust flight?   I may be doing some
