To find the greatest height \( h \) to which a body will rise when thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity \( u \), we can use the equations of motion. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the known values - Initial velocity \( u \) (upward) - Final velocity \( v = 0 \) (at the highest point) - Acceleration due to gravity \( g \) (acting downward, hence it will be negative in our equation) ### Step 2: Use the third equation of motion ...
