Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

140m

Explanation:

The velocity must be broken down into x (horizontal) and y (vertical) components. We can use the y component to find how high the object gets. To find vertical velocity, vy, use vy=vosinθ.

vy=(75ms)sin45o=53ms

Next we find how long it takes to reach the top of its trajectory using vf=vo+at.

0ms=53ms+(−10ms2)t

t = 5.3s

Finally, find how high the object goes with d=vot+12at2.

d=(53ms)5.3s+12(−10ms2)(5.3s)2=140m
