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
