Answer:
1.27 m
Explanation:
Relating kinetic energy and potential energy by following the law of conservation of linear energy then we can say [tex]mgh=0.5mv^{2}[/tex] where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height which is unknlwn in this question, v is the velocity. Making h the subject of the above formula we get that [tex]h=\frac {0.5v^{2}}{g}[/tex] and substituting g with 9.81 m/s2, v with 5 m/s we can deduce that [tex]h=\frac {0.5\times 5^{2}}{9.81}=1.2742099898063[\approx 1.27 m/tex]
