Projectile Motion

Question

A man can throw a ball a maximum horizontal distance of 193 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How far can he throw the same ball vertically upward with the same initial speed? Answer in units of m.

Answer 1

max x = v₀²/g; h_max = v₀²/(2g) = max x/2 = 193/2 = 96.5 m
