Thanks! Merry Christmas to you, I can sleep at night now!

Could you possibly find it in yourself, say in the spirit of Christmas to 'accidentally' reveal the equation for working out maximum height?...In my defence, I need it to work out the final equation for a question..which I have worked out all by myself...

I have considered some, am I right in assuming initial volocity = 9.7 & final volocity = 0 (at the point when the ball begins to return to the ground? where does 9.8 m s-2 come into this? Is it a really simple equation to deduce the balls maximum height??

Homework Statement A ball thrown straight up in the air at a speed of 9.7 m s-1 How to work out it's maximum height before falling to earth? *No air resistance - gravity is 9.8 m s-2* Homework Equations No mass is given for the ball, so I'm a bit stuck with this. The Attempt at...
