v = vo + at

0 = 7.5 m/s -(9.8 m/s^2)t

(9.8m/s^2)t = 7.5m/s (divide both sides by 9.8 to solve for t)

t = 0.765 s

max height = vot = 1/2at^2

max height = (7.5 m/s)(0.765 s) - (4.9m/s^2)(0.585s^2)

max height = 5.74 m - 2.87 m

max height = 2.87 m

2.87 + 1.38 = 4.25 m (you are adding the height above the ground here)

4.25 m is higher than the height of the castle wall (3.62 m) therefore the rock will reach the top of the wall.
