Boots Rockets Inc. Boots Rockets Inc. is conducting a test. On Earth the SB154 is launched 200 ft off the ground (h) and travels at a velocity of 154 m/s (v). They want to predict the flight time and maximum height. Earth Equation: Factors: (17, 0) and (-1, 0) Explanation: Only the solution at x=17 is valid, because time cannot be negative. For reasons unknown the government has asked the company to predict the flight time and maximum height on the Moon. The gravity on the Moon is 1.6 m/sec2. Moon Equation: Distance (m) Scale of 500 3905ft 97.5s 805ft 17s Time (s) Scale of 5 The SB154 rockets achieves a maximum height of 805ft and has a flight time of 17s. The SB154 almost 5 times the maximum height and 6 times the flight time on the Moon.
