A Correct answer
Explanation

The maximum height (H) reached by a projectile thrown vertically upward with initial velocity u is given by H = u²/(2g), where g is acceleration due to gravity. This formula is derived from the kinematic equation v² = u² - 2gH, setting final velocity v = 0 at the maximum height. The formula given in the question (SquareOf(u)/2*g) correctly represents this relationship.
