Then the maximum height of the catapult will be 69.78 meters.

<h3>What is kinematics?</h3>

The study of motion without considering the mass and the cause of the motion. The equation of motion is given below.

v = u + at

s = ut + (1/2)at²

v² = u² + 2as

A catapult can project a projectile at a speed as high as 37.0 m/s. (a) if air resistance can be ignored.

a = - 9.81 m/s²

u = 37 m/s

v = 0

s = h

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be given by the third equation.

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 37² - 2 × 9.81 × h

h = 37² / (2 × 9.81)

h = 69.78 meters

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be 69.78 meters.
