Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The height $ h $ to which the ball rises can be found using the formula $ h = \frac{v^2}{2g} $, where $ v $ is the initial velocity and $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately $ 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 $). Plugging in the given values, $ h = \frac{(10 \, \text{m/s})^2}{2 \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2} \approx 5.1 \, \text{m} $.
