As arrow rises to its maximum height, its velocity decreases from 256 ft/s to 0 ft/s at the rate of 32 ft/s each second. Use the following equation to determine the distance it rises.
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d, vf = 0, a = -32
0 = 256^2 + 2 * -32 * d
64 * d = 65,536
d = 65,536 ÷ 64 = 1024 ft
Maximum height = 85 + 1024 = 1109 ft
