Answer:
(a) The horizontal ground reaction force 
(b) The vertical ground reaction force 
(c) The resultant ground reaction force 
Explanation:
Given
John mass , m = 65 kg
Horizontal acceleration , 
Vertical acceleration , 
(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

=>
Thus the horizontal ground reaction force 
(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

=>
=>
Thus the vertical ground reaction force 
(c) Resultant ground reaction force is

=>
=>
Thus the resultant ground reaction force 
As soon as you let go of it it is at its max speed because gravity is constantly pulling it down
For any object thrown upwards where only the force of gravity is acting upon it, uses the following formula for the maximum height attained.
H= v²/2g, where g = 9.81 m/s²
There are two information of velocities are given. However, we use the 20 m/s information because this is the launch velocity. Hence, the solution is as follows:
H = (20 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²)
<em>H = 20.4 m</em>
