A rocket is launched from the surface of the earth with a speed of 9.0x103 m/s. What is the maximum altitude reached by the rocket? (MEarth=5.98x1024 kg, REarth=6.37x106 m)

Amass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. initially, the mass is released from rest from a point 8 inches below the equilibrium position. find the equation of motion. (use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)
