<b>Q:</b>A projectile is shot from the edge of a vertical cliff 60.0 m above the ocean. It has a speed of 100 m/s and is fired at an angle of 35.0 degrees below the horizon. How far from the foot of the vertical cliff does the projectile hit the water?
My take on the problem:
So what I'm trying to do is figure out how far this projectile will go in the +x direction before it reaches the bottom of the cliff (60 m).
My problem is that I'm getting quite confused as to how to start solving this problem. Please help me get started!
