The maximum height is the highest point reached by an object when it is thrown upwards or falls from a certain height due to the force of gravity.
The maximum height can be calculated using the formula h = (v^2 * sin^2θ) / 2g, where h is the maximum height, v is the initial velocity, θ is the angle of projection, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The maximum height is affected by the initial velocity, angle of projection, air resistance, and the acceleration due to gravity.
The maximum height is reached at the halfway point of the total time of flight, as the object slows down and starts to fall back towards the ground.
The maximum height on a graph can be found by locating the highest point on the curve. This point will have the maximum value for the y-axis (height) and the corresponding value for the x-axis (time) can be used to calculate the maximum height using the formula mentioned above.
