I attempted to answer and got 0m, please explain how to get to the answer.

A cannonball is fired straight up with an initial velocity of 150 m/s. How high will it get before it stops moving upward (it comes to a temporary stop before falling back down)?

Respuesta :

The maximum height to which the ball attain before falling back down is 1147.96 m

Data obtained from the question

The following data were obtained from the question:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 150 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h) =?

How to determine the maximum height

The maximum height reached by the ball can be obtained as illustrated below:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 150² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 22500 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 22500 = –19.6h

–22500 = –19.6h

Divide both side by –19.6

h = –22500 / –19.6

h = 1147.96 m

Thus, the maximum height reached by the ball is 1147.96 m
