3.78 m
Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes.
7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s
The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving
d = 1/2 A T^2
d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2
d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2
d = 2.979995 m
So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height.
d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m
Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m
