Question 8

A stone is thrown vertically upwards at a speed of 5.0 m/s.

All of the energy initially in the kinetic store of the stone is transferred to its gravitational potential store when the stone reaches its maximum height.

Which equation gives the maximum height $h$ reached by the stone?

$h = \dfrac{9.8}{2 \times 5.0^2}$
$h = \dfrac{5.0^2 \times 2}{9.8}$
$h = \dfrac{5.0^2}{2 \times 9.8}$
$h = \dfrac{2 \times 9.8}{5.0^2}$
