The maximum height that is reached by an object thrown or jumped at a certain initial velocity can be calculated through the equation,

   2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Vf is zero (0) in this equation because this is the point at the velocity at the maximum height of the object.

Substituting the known values,
  2(a)(-16) = 0 - (3.6)²

The value of a from the equation is 0.405 m/s².

0.405 m/s²
