a pebble is thrown into the air with a velocity of 19/m at an angle of 36 with respect to the horizontal.
if air resistance is negligible, what is the maximum height the pebble reaches?
A. 6.4 m
B. 8.0 m
C. 11 m
D. 19 m

Answer:

The maximum height the pebble reaches is approximately;

A. 6.4 m

Explanation:

The question is with regards to projectile motion of an object

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the pebble, u = 19 m/s

The angle the projectile path of the pebble makes with the horizontal, θ = 36°

The maximum height of a projectile, [tex]h_{max}[/tex], is given by the following equation;

[tex]h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (u \times sin(\theta) \right)^2}{2 \cdot g}[/tex]

Therefore, substituting the known values for the pebble, we have;

[tex]h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (19 \times sin(36 ^{\circ}) \right)^2}{2 \times 9.8} = 6.3633894140470403035477570509439[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum height of the pebble projectile, [tex]h_{max}[/tex] ≈ 6.4 m.
