A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. What is the maximum height reached?
To find the maximum height reached by the ball, we can use the following kinematic equation:
Where:
is the final velocity (0 m/s at the maximum height)
is the initial velocity (20 m/s)
is the acceleration (which is due to gravity)
is the displacement (the maximum height we want to find)
