Step 1: We have Data
Initially, the ball's speed u=49m/s
The final velocity of the ball v=0
Let the acceleration due to gravity be g=9.8m/s2
Let the maximum height be h.
Step 2: Calculate the Height
The third equation of motion by Newton states that
v2=u2-2gh
Acceleration is given as negative since the ball moves upwards against gravity.
0=492-2×9.8×h
492=2×9.8×h
h=4922×9.8
h=122.5m
Therefore, the highest the ball can rise is 122.5m.
