Answer:
Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km
Explanation:
Using the equations of motion
u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s
v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s
g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)
g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)
g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)
y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?
v² = u² + 2gy
0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)
19.64y = 5500²
y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km
