Let's first find the time that the ball takes to reach the maximum height:
v=v0−gt,0=v0−gt,t=gv0.Then, we can find the maximum height reached by the ball:
H=v0t−21gt2,H=v0gv0−21g(gv0)2=2gv02.Let's find the time that the ball takes to reach the midpoint:
v=v0−gt1,t1=gv0−v.Then, we can find the midpoint height reached by the ball:
h=v0t1−21gt12,h=v0gv0−v−21g(gv0−v)2,h=2gv02−v2.Since h=2H, we can write:
2gv02−v2=4gv02,2v02−2v2=v02,v=2v0.
