Answer

0.459 m

Work Step by Step

The maximum height of a projectile is given by $h_{m}=\frac{(v_{0}\sin\theta_{0})^{2}}{2g}$ Initial velocity $v_{0}=3.00\,m/s$ The projection angle(made with x-axis) $\theta_{0}=90^{\circ}$ Therefore, $h_{m}=\frac{(3.00\,m/s\times\sin90^{\circ})^{2}}{2\times9.8\,m/s^{2}}=0.459\,m$
