    The flea jumps at high velocity, reaches zero velocity at the maximum height 21.1 cm before starting to fall. Solve for initial velocity given final velocity is zero.

    since time is not given, use the equation:

    v^2 = u^2 + 2as

    convert gravity or displacement to have same units. 9.8 m/s = 980 cm/s

    0 = u^2 + 2 (-980) (21.1)

    41356 = u^2

    sqrt (41356) = u

    203.4 cm/s = u
