A baseball thrown from the outfield is released from shoulder height at an initial velocity of 39.2 m/s at an initial angle of 30.0 $\degree$ with respect to the horizontal. What is the maximum vertical displacement that the ball reaches during its trajectory?
A) 11.0 m
B) 19.6 m
C) 22.1 m
D) 44.1 m

Question

The maximum vertical displacement can be found using the formula: $ h = \frac{v^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g} $, where $ v = 39.2 \, \text{m/s} $, $ \theta = 30^\circ $, and $ g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 $. Plugging in the values, $ h = \frac{(39.2)^2 \times \sin^2(30^\circ)}{2 \times 9.8} = 19.6 \, \text{m} $.
