Part (a) If the altitude of the plane was 570 m, then how far, horizontally in meters, did the crate move as it fell to the ground? Part (b) What was the speed of the crate, in m/s, just before it hit the ground?

A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 48° above the horizontal. The cliff is 150 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 20 m/s. (Assume the height of the thrower is negligible.)
