A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 48° above the horizontal. The cliff is 150 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 20 m/s. (Assume the height of the thrower is negligible.)   (e) What are the horizontal and vertical positions (in m) of the rock relative to the edge of the cliff at t = 2.0 s, t = 4.0 s, and t = 6.0 s?  (Assume the +x-direction is in the horizontal direction pointing away from the cliff, the +y-direction is up towards the sky, and x = y = 0 at the point from which the rock is thrown.)
