Homework Statement
A projectile is shot straight up from the Earth's surface at a speed of 1.10×10^4 km/hr
Homework Equations
mgh=.5mv^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I converted the speed to m/s and 3055.5556 m/s
masses cancel out so i get 9.8h=.5v^2
I plugged in v and solved for H and got 476347.95m, which was wrong.
I'm not sure if this is how you are supposed to solve this problem, but i can't think of any other ways.
