MAXIMUM HEIGHT DERIVED
GOAL Find the maximum height of a thrown projectile using symbols.
PROBLEM Refer to Example 2.8. Use symbolic manipulation to find (a) the time t_{\max } it takes the ball to reach its maximum height and (b) an expression for the maximum height that doesn’t depend on time. Answers should be expressed in terms of the quantities v_{0}, g, and y_{0} only.
STRATEGY When the ball reaches its maximum height, its velocity is zero, so for part (a) solve the kinematics velocity equation for time t and set v=0. For part (b), substitute the expression for time found in part (a) into the displacement equation, solving it for the maximum height.
