5. Projectile Motion / Special Equations in Symmetrical Launches / Problem 1

During a football game, a player kicks the ball, initially at rest, creating a high arc across the field. Observations reveal that the total time the ball remains airborne from kick to landing is 4.5 seconds. Calculate the maximum height hmaxh_{\max } the ball reaches, using its total time of flight.
Illustration of a football's trajectory with total flight time of 4.5 seconds and maximum height labeled.
