A bullet is fired vertically upwards with a velocity of 120 ms-1.  What is the maximum height reached by the bullet? (g = 9.8 ms-2) Correct Answer 734.69 m

The initial velocity of bullet u = 120 ms-1

The final velocity of bullet v = 0

According to the 3rd equation of motion,

v2 = u2 - 2gh

0 = (120) - 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 14400 / 19.6

h = 734.69 m
