What equation can I use to calculate the burn needed to perform a vertical landing of a rocket?
Post Body

I am doing a project at univeristy where I am simulating the landing procedure for the SpaceX Falcon9 rocket. I was wondering whether anyone knows any equations which I can use to calculate the height at which the landing burn should start, to bring the rocket velocity down to 0m/s at touchdown?
