Problem

A ball is projected vertically upward from the ground with an initial speed of 30 m s−130\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}. Take g=10 m s−2g = 10\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2} downward. (i) Calculate the time taken to reach the highest point. (ii) Determine the maximum height reached above the point of projection.
