A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff with a velocity of 15 m/s. If the cliff is 20 m high, how far from the base of the cliff will the ball land? Assume g = 9.8 m/s². A projectile is launched at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 25 m/s. What is the maximum height reached by the projectile? Assume g = 9.8 m/s².
