Answer:
h = 90.10 m
Explanation:
Given that,
A man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high, hâ‚€ = 85 m
The initial speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s
The path followed by the projectile is given by :
[tex]h(t)=-4.9t^2+10t+85[/tex] ....(1)
For maximum height,
Put dh/dt = 0
So,
[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-9.8t+10=0\\\\t=\dfrac{10}{9.8}\\\\=1.02\ s[/tex]
Put the value of t in equation (1).
[tex]h(t)=-4.9(1.02)^2+10(1.02)+85\\\\=90.10\ m[/tex]
So, the maximum height of the stone is equal to 90.10 m.
