First we must classify "It". According to Google.com search engine, the first logical most used word in the English language is "you". So assuming you are "it", and you are an average person who can walk at 5 km/h, on a level surface you will walk 6.9 metres.

Now we must decide the angle of climb. Let's say you're walking on a rural road where a slope could be approximately 18 degrees. Your average walking speed may be reduced to around 4 km/h, meaning you travel 5.6 metres in 5 seconds.

So we're finally ready to solve the height after 5 seconds. Setting up the trigonometric function, we can see that Sin(18 degrees) = (x / 5.6)

Solving for x gives us 1.73 m.

So after 5 seconds, it has reached a height of 1.73 m vertically.
