You shake a bottle of soda and take off the cap. if the soda shoots out of the
bottle with a velocity of 15 m/s, how high will it go?
a. 11.5 m
b. 8.3 m
c. 10.6 m
d. 12.7 m

A. 11.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the soda cap, u = 15 m/s

The soda bottle cap is projected vertically upwards,

Hence, the angle formed with the ground, Ф = 90°

The maximum height of the projectile is given by the formula,

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                                        = 11.5 m

Hence, the maximum height of the cap is h = 11.5 m
