A-Level Physics - Year 1 (AS): The maximum vertical height occurs when the vertical component of velocity becomes 0. The relevant values are: s = ? u = 17.3 m/s v = 0 m/s a = -9.81 m/s² How do you find the maximum height of the ball?

Question

The maximum vertical height occurs when the vertical component of velocity becomes 0. The relevant values are:  s = ? u = 17.3 m/s v = 0 m/s a = -9.81 m/s²  How do you find the maximum height of the ball?

Use the formula v² = u² + 2as: 0 = 17.3² + 2(-9.81)s. 
 s = 15.3 m
