Question

At the Earth's surface, a projectile is launched straight up at a speed of 10.0km / s. To what height will it rise? Ignore air resistance and the rotation of the Earth.

Answer 1

At h = 5199.28 km  it will rise. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in a particle or object in motion.

What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in a particle or object in motion. When work, which entails the transfer of energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, that object acquires kinetic energy.

There are five types of kinetic energy: mechanical, electrical, acoustic, thermal, and radiant. Kinetic energy (KE), which is the energy of a body in motion, is essentially the energy of all moving objects. It is one of the two main types of energy together with potential energy, which is the stored energy existing in objects at rest. 

To what height will it rise?

Equating the initial kinetic energy to the final potential energy

At the highest point, the body has only potential energy

initial kinetic energy = .5 * m * v2

velocity = 10.1 km/s

= 10.1 * 10100 m/s

= 10100 m/s

KE = .5 * m * (10100)2 = 51.005 x 106 x m   J

potential energy = m x g x h

max height reached = m x 9.81 x h

m x 9.81 x h =  51.005 x 106 x m   J

h = 5199.28 km
