Question

Solve the following problem.

A man throws a ball to maximum horizontal distance of 80 m. Calculate the maximum height reached.

Answer 1

Given: R_max = 80 m

To find: Maximum height reached (H_max)

Formula: R_max = 4H_max

Calculation:

From formula,

∴ `"H"_"max" = "R"_"max"/4 = 80/4 =` 20 m

The maximum height reached by the ball is 20 m.
