Problem

A 0.5 kg0.5\,\text{kg} ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 14 m/s14\,\text{m/s}. Neglecting air resistance and taking g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2, calculate the maximum height reached (measured from the point of projection). (a) 19.6 m19.6\,\text{m} (b) 4.9 m4.9\,\text{m} (c) 9.8 m9.8\,\text{m} (d) 10.0 m10.0\,\text{m}
