SUMMARY
The maximum height of an object thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 47 m/s can be determined using the kinematic equations. The final velocity at the peak height is 0 m/s, and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s². By applying the equations V² - Vo² = 2g(2/3)h and 0 - Vo² = 2gh, one can derive the maximum height (h) above the launch point. The correct approach involves manipulating these equations to isolate and solve for h.
