Answer:

73.67 m

Explanation:

If projected straight up, we can work in 1 dimension, and we can use the following kinematic equations:

y(t) = y_0 + V_0 * t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2

V(t) = V_0 + a * t,

Where y_0 its our initial height, V_0  our initial speed, a the acceleration and t the time that has passed.

For our problem, the initial height its 0 meters, our initial speed its 38.0 m/s, the acceleration its the gravitational one ( g = 9.8 m/s^2), and the time its uknown.

We can plug this values in our equations, to obtain:

y(t) =  38 \frac{m}{s} * t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2

V(t) = 38 \frac{m}{s} - g * t

note that the acceleration point downwards, hence the minus sign.

Now, in the highest point, velocity must be zero, so, we can grab our second equation, and write:

0 m = 38 \frac{m}{s} - g * t

and obtain:

t = 38 \frac{m}{s} / g

t = 38 \frac{m}{s} / 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

t = 3.9 s

Plugin this time on our first equation we find:

y = 38 \frac{m}{s} * 3.9 s - \frac{1}{2} 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} (3.9 s)^2

y=73.67 m
