A catapult can project a projectile at a speed as high as 35.0 m/s. (a) If air resistance can be ignored, how high (in m) would a projectile launched at this speed rise if projected straight up? m (b) How long would the projectile be in the air (in s)?

Expert Solution
Step 1
Given the speed of the projectile
(a) height of the projectile h=?
we can calculate this by
when the projectile is on the maximum height the speed of the projectile will be 0 at that moment and acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity and the direction will be negative
so the projectile will go maximum height of 62.5m.
