The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming is capable of **** its hot water up from the ground with a speed of 48.0 m/. How high can this geyser ****?
Remember, the geyser is **** up; therefore it must have a negative initial velocity.
As you might expect, the final answer has a negative displacement. This means that the total distance the water has traveled is measured up from the ground.
