There are two frogs named Froggy and Jumpy. They jumped form the top of a vertical cliff. Froggy just drop and reaches the ground in 3.50 s, while Jumpy jumps horizontally with an initial speed 95 cm/s. A. How far from the base of the cliff will Jumpy hit the ground? B. How high is the vertical cliff? C. If Jumpy jumps with an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal, what should be its initial velocity for it to land on the same spot as he did when he jumped horizontally?
