What is its initial vertical speed Vo ?
v = Vo - 9.8 t
v = 0 at top
so
t = Vo/9.8
then height
h = Vo t - (9.8/2) t^2
100 = Vo^2/9.8 - (9.8/2) (Vo/9.8)^2
100 = Vo^2/(2*9.8)
Vo = 44.3 = speed sin theta
sin theta = 44.3/50
theta = 62.4 deg up from horizontal
v = Vo - 9.8 t
v = 0 at top
so
t = Vo/9.8
then height
h = Vo t - (9.8/2) t^2
100 = Vo^2/9.8 - (9.8/2) (Vo/9.8)^2
