Exam-style question
Try this first
A projectile is launched vertically with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Calculate the maximum height reached by the projectile. Assume no air resistance.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The maximum height reached by the projectile is 31.9 m.
Explanation
Why this works
This question assesses the understanding of vertical motion and the use of the maximum height formula. The formula used is h = (v^2) / (2g).
The substitution and calculations demonstrate how the initial speed influences the height.
