Answer:
The maximum height reached by the body is 313.6 m
The time to return to its point of projection is 8 s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the body, u = 78.4 m/s
at maximum height (h) the final velocity of the body (v) = 0
The following equation is applied to determine the maximum height reached by the body;
v² = u² - 2gh
0 = u² - 2gh
2gh = u²
h = u²/2g
h = (78.4²) / (2 x 9.8)
h = 313.6 m
The time to return to its point of projection is calculated as follows;
at maximum height, the final velocity becomes the initial velocity = 0
h = v + ¹/₂gt²
h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²
h = ¹/₂gt²
2h = gt²
t² = 2h/g
