Problem

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18 m s−118\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. (i) Find the speed of the ball when it has risen to a height of 12 m12\,\text{m} above the point of projection. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}. (ii) Determine the maximum height attained by the ball from the point of projection.
