Problem

A stone of mass 200 g200\,\text{g} is projected vertically upward with an initial speed of 25 m s−125\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. (i) Derive an expression for the maximum height reached by any body thrown vertically upward in terms of its initial speed uu and the acceleration due to gravity gg. No numerical values need be substituted in this part. (ii) Using the result obtained in part (i), calculate the maximum height reached by the stone. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}.
