In Physics, there are simple formulas to solve such problems


(a)  t = V%5B0%5D%2Fg, where t is the time under the question,  V%5B0%5D  is the initial speed (vertically),

         g is gravity acceleration.


     So,   t = 42%2F9.81 = 4.28 seconds.




(b)  h%5Bmax%5D = V%5B0%5D%5E2%2Fg = 42%5E2%2F9.81 = 179.8 m.     ANSWER

Solved.
