Find maximum height rocket will reach above launch pad


A 7500kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25ms -2 and feels no apprciable air resistance. When it has reached a height of 525m, its engines suddenly fail so that the only force acting on it is now gravity.

b) How much time after engine failure will elapse before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad?
