John is standing on a boat dock at the water's edge on a hot summer day throwing stones into the lake. He throws the stones from a height of 3.0 meters above the water with a speed of 16 meters per second. If he aims the stones "down" toward the water am releases them at an angle of 15 degrees below the horizontal, how far out into the lake will they splash?
