    Answer: 5.31 meters

    Explanation: Use conservation of energy. Initial energy equals final energy. Initially, there is only kinetic energy (because height = 0 initially). At the end, kinetic energy equals 0 because at max height, there is max potential energy and the ball stops moving for a split second.

    mgh =.5mv^2

    Masses cancel out

    gh =.5v^2

    (9.8) (h) =.5 (10.2^2)

    Solve for h. h = 5.31 meters
