#### Problem Statement:
A ball is thrown horizontally off a 155-meter cliff with a velocity of 13.5 m/s.
1. **Questions:**
(a) How much time would the ball spend in the air?
(b) How far from the base of the cliff would the ball land?
(c) At what angle would the ball hit the ground (HINT: look at horizontal and vertical velocities)?
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram illustrates a projectile motion scenario where a ball is launched horizontally from a cliff. The initial velocity is marked as 13.5 m/s, and the height of the cliff is 155 meters. The path of the ball is depicted as a curved trajectory down to where it lands on the horizontal ground. The distance from the base of the cliff to where the ball lands is indicated as an unspecified variable to be calculated.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F78a96f4b-c4a7-4e44-95dd-3606c481f172%2F83813561-6c92-4fe8-b16a-5bf3abcc31ea%2Fcy2k8oa_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
