Suppose if you kicked a ball with a speed of 20m/s, then what height does the ball raise vertically
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

%28mv%5E2%29%2F2 = mgH       (conservation energy law: m is mass, v is an initial speed, H is height, g is the gravity acceleration, ~ 10 m%2Fs%5E2).

---> H = v%5E2%2F%282g%29 = %2820%5E2%29%2F%282%2A10%29 = 20 m.
