A projectile is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 150 from a point 2 m above the m sec ground. If 5 meters is the height of the projectile above the ground t seconds after being fired, under the assumption that the only force acting on it is acceleration due to gravity, how high above the ground (in meters) will the projectile go? Note: Use a = 9.8 m/s² for acceleration due to gravity

A projectile is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 150- from a point 2 m above the
m
sec
ground. If 5 meters is the height of the projectile above the ground t seconds after being
fired, under the assumption that the only force acting on it is acceleration due to gravity,
how high above the ground (in meters) will the projectile go? Note: Use a = 9.8 m/s² for
acceleration due to gravity
