8. An object is projected vertically upward with a velocity of 80 ms\(^{-1}\). Find the;
a. Maximum height reached (Leave your answer in whole number 'abc.')
b. Time taken to return to the point of projection [ g = 10m/s\(^2\)]
Maximum height, h, v = 0m/s at max height
Recall v\(^2\) = u\(^2\) − 2gh
0\(^2\) = 80\(^2\) − 2(10)h
0 = 6400 - 20h
h = \(\frac{6400}{20}\)
h = 320 m
b. Time taken to reach maximum height, t
V = u − gt
0 = 80−10t
10t = 80
t = \(\frac{80}{10}\) = 8s
Since it takes 8 s to reach maximum height, it will also take 8 s to return to the point of projection; hence, it is 16 s
