Answer

$1.38m$

Work Step by Step

We know that $v=\frac{p}{m}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=\frac{0.780}{0.150}=5.20\frac{m}{s}$ Now we can find the required height as follows: $v^2=v_{\circ}^2-2g(y-y_{\circ})$ This can be rearranged as: $y_{\circ}=\frac{v^2}{2g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $y_{\circ}=\frac{(5.20)^2}{2(9.81)}=1.38m$
