Answer:
482.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we will need to use one of the equations of linear motion. To decide which one we should use, let us first write down what we have
initial height = 160 feet
initial speed = 144 feet/second
acceleration = g = -32.17405 ft/s² negative because it is opposite the direction
of motion
maximum height = ? That is what we are asked to find
so the equation we can use is
[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} +2as\\(0)^{2} = 144^{2} +2(-32.17405)s\\s = 322.25 feet[/tex]
But remember the initial height was 160 feet.
So maxiumum = 322.25 feet + 160 feet
= 482.25 feet
