Answer:

  • 2 seconds
  • 72 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual equation used for the vertical component of ballistic motion is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +v₀t +h₀

where vâ‚€ is the initial upward velocity, and hâ‚€ is the initial height. Units of distance are feet, and units of time are seconds.

Your problem statement gives ...

  v₀ = 64 ft/s

  h₀ = 8 ft

so the equation of height is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +64t +8

__

For quadratic ax² +bx +c, the axis of symmetry is x=-b/(2a). Then the axis of symmetry of the height equation is ...

  t = -64/(2(-16)) = 2

The object will reach its maximum height after 2 seconds.

The height at that time will be ...

  h(2) = -16(2²) +64(2) +8 = 72

The maximum height will be 72 feet.
