The maximum height reached by the ball is 99.2 m
Explanation:
When the ball is thrown straight up, it follows a free fall motion, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration ( towards the ground). Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the displacement
In this problem, we have:
u = 44.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the ball
v = 0 is the final velocity when the ball reaches the maximum height
s is the maximum height
is the acceleration of gravity (downward, so negative)
Solving for s, we find the maximum height reached by the ball:
