A tennis ball is dropped onto a court and bounces several times.

Figure 1 shows how the height of the tennis ball above the court changes with time.

A line graph showing the height of a tennis ball over time. The y-axis is labeled 'Height above court (m)' and ranges from 0 to 2.0 with major grid lines every 0.2 m. The x-axis is labeled 'Time (s)' and ranges from 0 to 3.0. The curve starts at a height of 1.6 m at time 0 s, drops to 0 m at 0.57 s, bounces up to a peak representing the first bounce at 1.15 s, drops back to 0 m at 1.73 s, bounces up to a second peak of 0.6 m at 2.15 s, and hits the ground again at 2.57 s. The peak height of the first bounce aligns horizontally with the 1.0 m grid line on the y-axis.

Use Figure 1 to estimate the maximum height that the tennis ball reaches after the first bounce.
