Physics

To calculate the work done by gravity when the object reaches the highest point of its trajectory, we need to follow these steps:

 

Determine the maximum height reached by the object

At the highest point, the object's velocity becomes zero. We can use the kinematic equation to find the maximum height (h):

 

Where:

v=0 m/s (velocity at the highest point),

u=8 m/s (initial velocity),

a = -10m/s² (acceleration due to gravity),

s = h (maximum height).

 

Solve for the maximum height
