Final answer:

To determine the maximum height and time it takes for the ball to reach that height, we can use the equations of motion for vertical motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the maximum height and time it takes for the ball to reach that height, we can use the equations of motion for vertical motion.

The equation to determine the maximum height is given by: h = (Vi^2) / (2g) where h is the maximum height, Vi is the initial vertical velocity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The equation to determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height is given by: t = Vi / g where t is the time, Vi is the initial vertical velocity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
