A projectile of mass 0.803 kg is shot straight up with an initial speed of 24.8 m/s. (a) How high would it go if there were no air resistance? (b) If the projectile rises to a maximum height of only 9.36 m, determine the magnitude of the average force due to air resistance

Answer 1

a. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h
V = 0
Vo = 24.8 m/s
g = -9.8 m/s^2
Solve for h.
