A small model rocket is launched vertically upward on a calm day. The engine delivers its thrust at a constant rate for 2 seconds, at which point the engine burns out. The rocket continues until it begins to fall from its maximum height of 600 feet. Six seconds into the flight a parachute is automatically deployed and the rocket descends at a constant rate of 30 feet per second. Sketch a possible graph of the altitude, h(t), of the rocket at time t for the first 10 seconds of the flight.
