The question is -
A 1200kg car drives off a cliff with a horizontal velocity of 30m/s and an upward vertical velocity of 15m/s.
a) Neglecting air resistance, what is its horizontal and vertical velocity after 1s?
b) What is the maximum height above the ramp the car reaches?
I used - v = vi + at
so - vh = 30m/s + 0*1 = 30m/s
and - vv = 15m/s + 10*1 = 25m/s
However I am not sure if this is the right formula, and I can't see how to get from question a to question b. If someone could point me in the right direction in regards to formula it would be much appreciated. Thank you :)
