To determine the maximum height for the projectile, we can use the timeless kinematics equation
V _(f) ^(2) -V_(i)^(2)=2a \Delta y and plug in what we know. For
V _(f) ^(2), we know it is zero because at the highest location of flight, there is no vertical velocity. For
V _(i) ^(2), we know it is
(35sin(32))^(2) since the vertical component is the sine of the velocity. We need to solve for
y, so it is left as-is. Since the only acceleration is
g, we can substitute -9.81 into it. Solving for the equation yields a solution of 17.55 m for
\Delta y.
