2. A firework rocket starts from rest at ground level and moves vertically. In the first 3 s of its motion, the rocket rises 27 m . The rocket is modelled as a particle moving with constant acceleration \(a \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). Find
- the value of \(a\),
- the speed of the rocket 3 s after it has left the ground.
After 3 s , the rocket burns out. The motion of the rocket is now modelled as that of a particle moving freely under gravity.
- Find the height of the rocket above the ground 5 s after it has left the ground.
