Example: Let us throw a rock an upward angle of 30 degrees (30°) of the horizontal from the very edge of our favorite 100 m cliff and with an initial velocity of 8.5 m/s. Range = ? Again, we will ask, how long before the rock hits the ground? And now additionally we want to know how far away from the edge of cliff it will land.
