A rocket is fired upward from the Earth's surface such that it creates an acceleration of $19.6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. If after $5 \mathrm{~s}$, its engine is switched off, the maximum height of the rocket from Earth's surface would be: (a) $980 \mathrm{~m}$ (b) $735 \mathrm{~m}$ (c) $490 \mathrm{~m}$ (d) $245 \mathrm{~m}$

A rocket is currently exactly 13.7 km from the ground, traveling at 2.65 x 10^3 m/s with a constant acceleration of 11.4 m/s^2. 8.29 seconds later, its engine stopped. Considering that g is constant, what is the maximum height reached by the rocket in mi?
