### Problem Statement

1. **A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 51 degrees with respect to the horizontal.** The cliff is 126 meters high. The initial speed of the rock is 24 m/s.

#### Instructions:

(a) **Fill in the following:**

- \( v_0 = \_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \)
- \( v_{0x} = \_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \)
- \( v_{0y} = \_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \)

(b) \( v_x = \_\_\_ \).

(c) \( v_y = \_\_\_ \).

(d) **Task:**
   - In your notebook, draw a sketch of the problem.
   - **Select directions:**
     - Vertical axis (y-axis): Choose upwards or downwards as positive.
     - Horizontal axis (x-axis): Choose left or right as positive.
     - Select an origin.
   - **Draw vectors:** Include \( v_0, v_{0x}, v_{0y}, v, v_x, v_y, a_x, a_y \).
   - **Label positions:** Mark the initial and final positions of the rock with \( x_0, y_0, \) and \( x_f, y_f \).

(e) **Calculate the following:**
   - How high above the edge of the cliff does the rock rise? \( \Delta y = \_\_\_ \, \text{m} \)

(f) **Determine the horizontal movement:**
   - How far has it moved horizontally when at maximum altitude? \( \Delta x = \_\_\_ \, \text{m} \)

(g) **Calculate time of flight:**
   - How long after the release does it hit the ground? \( t_{\text{ground}} = \_\_\_ \, \text{s} \)

(h) **Find the range of the rock:**
   - What is the range of the rock? \( \Delta x_{\text{total}} = \_\_\_ \, \text{m} \)

(i) **Analyze position at a specific time:**
   - What are the horizontal and vertical positions of the rock relative to the edge of
