Question

What is the greatest height to which it will rise if a body is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of V

Answer 1

we have the displacement occurred to be

s = (v2- u2) / 2a

here.

s = h

u = u

v = 0

a = -g

so,

h = (0 - u2) / 2(-g)

thus,

maximum height travelled will be

h = u2/ 2g
