Calculate Maximum Height of a Golf Ball



Formula

The formula to calculate the maximum height (H) of a golf ball is:

\[ H = \left( V₀ \sin(\theta) \right)^2 / (2 g) \]

Where:

Definitions

Example

Let's say the initial velocity (V₀) is 40 m/s and the launch angle (θ) is 45 degrees. Using the formula:

\[ H = \left( 40 \sin(45^\circ) \right)^2 / (2 \times 9.81) \]

We get:

\[ H = \left( 40 \times 0.707 \right)^2 / 19.62 = 800 / 19.62 = 40.78 \text{ meters} \]

So, the maximum height the golf ball reaches is approximately 40.78 meters.
