Answer

A projectile is an object that is given an initial velocity, and is acted on by gravity. The maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory. The maximum height of the projectile depends on the initial velocity v0, the launch angle θ, and the acceleration due to gravity. The unit of maximum height is meters (m).

H = maximum height (m)

v0 = initial velocity (m/s)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.80 m/s2)

θ = angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane (radians or degrees)
