A body is projected horizontally near the surface of the earth with `sqrt(1.5)` times the orbital velocity .Calculate the maximum heght up which it will rise above the surface of the earth.
[Hint : when the velocity of projection exceeds the orbital velocity the path taken is an ellipse At the highest point the radius vector and velocity are right angles Conserve angular momentum and energy.]
