Suggested Answer

a) The maximum height is 3.5 mb) The time taken to reach this height is 0.85 secondsc) The time taken to return to the original point is 0.85 seconds.What is the maximum height?We know that the maximum height can be obtained from the use of the kinematic equations. We know that;a) v^2 = u^2 - 2ghv = final velocityu = initial velocityg = acceleration due to gravityh = maximum height attainedv= 0 /ms at the maximum heightu^2 = 2ghh = u^2/2gh = (8.3)^2/2 * 9.8h = 68.89/10.6h = 3.5 mb) Time taken to reach the maximum height;v = u - gtv= 0 /ms at the maximum heightu = gtt = u/gt = 8.3/9.8t = 0.85 secondsc) The time taken to return is the same as the time taken to go up which is 0.85 seconds.Learn more about kinematics:https://brainly.com/question/7590442#SPJ1
