A projectile is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 210 m/sec from a point 2 m above the ground. Ifs meters is the height of the projectile above the ground t seconds after being fired, under the assumption that the only force acting on it is acceleration due to gravity, how high above the ground (in meters) will the projectile go? Note: Use a = 9.8m/sec² for acceleration due to gravity. 2

A projectile is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 210 m/sec
from a point 2 m above the ground. Ifs meters is the height of the projectile
above the ground t seconds after being fired, under the assumption that the
only force acting on it is acceleration due to gravity, how high above the
ground (in meters) will the projectile go?
Note: Use a = 9.8m/sec² for acceleration due to gravity.
