4. You are currently standing at the edge of a cliff 5 m above a body of water. You then toss a coin with 
an initial velocity of 4.5 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. As the coin hits the water surface, it 
slows down to one-third of its speed right before hitting the surface and maintains this speed while 
underwater. Also, the coin moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when it struck 
the water. If the water is 2.5 m deep, determine
A. The velocity of the coin right before hitting the water surface
B. The time it takes for the coin to settle to the bottom of the body of water from when it was tossed
