Problem 2. Projectile Motion: A projectile is fired from the edge of a cliff as shown in the figure. The initial velocity components are 48 m/s (horizontal) and 36 m/s (vertical). The projectile reaches maximum height at point A and then falls and strikes the ground at point B. How high is point A above point B, assuming no air resistance?
