Question

Using energy techniques solve the following problem(s)
A firework cannon fires its 0.8 kg payload straight up from a starting height of 1.2 m (which is the length of the cannon) with an initial velocity of 80 m/s.  (a) What is the initial gravitational potential energy of the payload relative to the ground? (b) What is the initial kinetic energy of the payload? (c) When it gets to its highest point, the payload's kinetic energy will have all been converted to gravitational potential energy.  Use this knowledge and your answers from (a) and (b) to calculate the maximum height of the payload using energy techniques (instead of kinematics).  Notice that we are still using the fact that the vertical velocity at its highest point is zero
