Answer:

The value is
s = 110.32 \ m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial velocity is u= 46.5 m/s

Generally from kinematic equations we have that


v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here
a = -g = -9.8 \ m/s^2

The negative sign is because it is moving against gravity

At maximum height v = 0 m/s

So


0 = (46.5)^2 + 2* (-9.8)s

=>
s = 110.32 \ m
