Suppose that a cannon fires a cannon ball of mass 25 kg straight up with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second. If the air resistance experienced by the cannon ball is half of the cannon ball's velocity at each moment in time, what is the maximum height the cannon ball will reach, supposing the cannon ball leaves the cannon at a height of one meter above the ground?
