Answer:
The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s
the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0
The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;
v² = u² + 2gh
During upward motion, gravity is negative
v² = u² + 2(-g)h
v² = u² - 2gh
0 = u² - 2gh
2gh = u²
h = u² / 2g
h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)
h = 16.35 m
Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.
