AI Generated Solution

To derive the expression for the maximum height attained by a body thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity \( u \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the motion When the body is thrown upwards, it will rise until it reaches a maximum height where its velocity becomes zero. At this point, the body will start to fall back down. ### Step 2: Identify the variables - Initial velocity, \( u \) (upwards) - Final velocity at maximum height, \( v = 0 \) (the body stops momentarily) ...
