Accepted Answer

The maximum height reached by the cylinder at the given initial velocity is 0.2 m.What is the maximum height travelled by the cylinder?The maximum height travelled by the cylinder is calculated by applying the following kinematic equation as shown below.v² = u² - 2ghwhere;u is the initial velocity of the cylinderv is the final velocity of the cylinder at the maximum heighth is the maximum height travelled by the cylinderg is acceleration due to gravityAt maximum height, the final velocity of the cylinder = 0v² = u² - 2gh0 = u² - 2gh2gh = u²h = u²/2gh = (2²) / (2 x 9.8)h = 0.2 mLearn more about maximum height here: https://brainly.com/question/12446886#SPJ1
