The concept of conservation of energy is used here.
In the first part, equate the initial kinetic potential energy equals to the final kinetic and potential energy at the maximum height. Find the expression of the maximum height above the ground, substitute the values in the expression and find the result.
In the next part, find the ball speed as it passes the window. In this part, height remains the same.
In the last part, at the ground the height is zero. Using the energy conservation, find the speed of impact on the ground.
The law of conservation of energy states that sum of initial kinetic and potential energy is equal to the sum of final kinetic and potential. The total energy always remains conserved.
Mathematically, it is given as:
Here, and are the initial and final kinetic energies respectively and, and represents the initial and final potential energies respectively.
