A body is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity u. Write an expression for the maximum height attained by the body.
There will be retardation when a body is thrown vertically upwards having an initial velocity ‘u’ to reach a height ‘h’. The final velocity ‘v’ at the highest point is 0m/s We know from the equation of motion that, \begin{array}{l} v^{2}=u^{2}-2 g h \\ h_{\max }=\frac{u^{2}}{2 g} \end{array}
