Question
2. A rock climber throws a small first aid kit to another climber who is higher up the mountain.
The initial velocity magnitude of the kit is 11 m/s at an angle of 65° above the horizontal. At
the instant when the kit is caught, it is traveling horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero. What
is the vertical height between the two climbers?
