Using conservation of energy,
К. Е., +Р. Е.; — К. Е.f +P. E.f
mv + mgh, = mv + mgh,
where, v; = launch speed
maximum height
h; = initial height = 0 m
hf
%3|
velocity at maximum height = 0m ·s-
Vf =
(
At maximum height velocity of projectile is 0.
substituting values,
zmv + mg (0 m) = ;m (0 ms-') + mgh;
So, above reduces to,
v = gh;
So,
Iaunching velocity (v;) = V2 gh;
substituting numerical values,
Iaunching velocity (v;) = \/2 (9. 8 m · s-2 ) (1. 47 m) = 5. 37 m · s-1
