Question
A rocket is fired upward with a velocity (v) of 570 feet per second. Find how many seconds pass before the
rocket reaches the ground (S = 0) again. Use the quadratic equation S = - 16t² +570t.
It will take seconds until the rocket reaches the ground again.
(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
