Answer:
D. 12.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The initial velocity of the ball, u = 18 m/s
The angle at which the ball is projected, θ = 60°
The maximum height of the ball is given by the formula
h = u² sin²θ/2g m
Where,
g - acceleration due to gravity. (9.8 m/s)
Substituting the values in the above equation
h = 18² · sin²60 / 2 x 9.8
= 18² x 0.75 / 2 x 9.8
= 12.4 m
Hence, the maximum height of the ball attained, h = 12.4 m
