Hey there :)  The first stage separates from a rocket and begins to fall back to Earth. As it leaves, the rocket is travelling at 1200 m/s [up]. If it is slowing down at an acceleration of -5.5 m/s2[up] at this stage, how long will it take to slow down to a velocity of 0 m/s? I have attatched a photo! :)

Hey there :) 

The first stage separates from a rocket and begins to fall back to Earth. As it leaves, the rocket is travelling at 1200 m/s [up]. If it is slowing down at an acceleration of -5.5 m/s2[up] at this stage, how long will it take to slow down to a velocity of 0 m/s?

Thanks so so much!
