Answer:

V initial = 29.4 m.s²

Step-by-step explanation:

( Using the laws of motion)

V final = V initial + Acceleration × time

0 = V initial + ( -9.8)(3)

29.4 = V initial

* I took upward as positive that's why I substituted -9.8 *

* for V final we know that at maximum height the ball is not moving thats why is = 0 *
