the maximum height. c) The time taken for the object to hit the
ground.
Solution:
a) To find the maximum height reached by the object, we can use
the kinematic equation:
v2=u2+ 2as
Where: v= 0 (when the object reaches its maximum height) u= 30
m/s a=−9.8m/s2(acceleration due to gravity, negative as it is acting
downward) s=? (maximum height)
Plugging in the values, we get:
0 = (30)2+ 2 ∗(−9.8) ∗s
0 = 900 −19.6s
19.6s= 900
s=900
19.6≈45.92meters
Therefore, the maximum height reached by the object is approxi-
mately 45.92 meters.

imately 3.06 seconds.
