Solve Kinematics Problem: Baseball Thrown at 44.1 m/s

[Power of One]

A baseball is through across the plate at 44.1 m/s. If it had been through straight up, how high would it have gone.I'm not sure how to find the displacement since all I'm given is the initial velocity. Am I missing something here?

 

[BreakingBad]

There is a downward acceleration g (the acceleration by Earth's force of gravity).

You also know final velocity and acceleration.

Since it is thrown in the Y direction, the only acceleration force is gravity.

Also, remember that you are trying to find out its maximum height. You know that the ball will have a velocity of 0 at its highest point, so you know the final velocity.

That should be enough to calculate distance using the kinematic equations.

Thank you for your help. I can't believe I forgot about acceleration due to gravity.
