An object thrown upward with an initial velocity of 50 m/s reaches a maximum height determined by the kinematic equation h = (v^2) / (2g), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²). This results in a maximum height of approximately 127.55 meters. The total time the object remains in the air can be calculated using the equation t = (2v) / g, yielding a total flight time of approximately 10.19 seconds. Understanding these kinematic equations is essential for solving similar projectile motion problems.
