Answer to Question #145292 in Mechanics | Relativity for Aasritha

Question

For a projectile moving along a parabolic path, the maximum height attained may be:

Answer 1

The maximum height for a body launched at an angle to the horizontal, is:

$$h_{max} = \dfrac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}$$

where $v$ is the initial speed of the body, $\theta$ is launching angle and $g = 9.81m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration.
