Answer:
13.225 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Initial Velocity, u = 4.9m/s
Acceleration due to gravity, a = - 9.8 m/s² (downward)
Distance, S = - 12
According to the motion equation :
S = ut + 0.5at²
S = 4.9t + 0.5(-9.8)t²
S = 4.9t - 4.9t² - - - (1)
At the highest point, v = 0
v² = u + at
0 = 4.9 + - 9.8t
-9.8t = - 4.9
t = 4.9/9.8
t = 0.5s
Put t = 0.5 in (1) above
S = 4.9(0.5) - 4.9(0.5)²
S = 2.45 - 1.225
S = 1.225 m
Total height :
(12 + 1.225) m = 13.225 m
