If a particle is projected vertically upward with a speed \(u,\) and rises to a maximum altitude \(h\) above the earth's surface then (\(g=\) acceleration due to gravity at surface)

1. \(h>\frac{u^2}{2g}\)
2. \(h=\frac{u^2}{2g}\)
3. \(h<\frac{u^2}{2g}\)
4. Any of the above maybe true, depending on the earth's radius
