  • Q11

    Rock A is thrown horizontally off of a cliff with a velocity of 20 m/s. The rock lands 60 m from the base of the cliff.  A second rock (Rock B) is dropped from the same height from which Rock A was thrown. If both rocks are released simultaneously, which rock will strike the ground first?

    They will strike the ground at the same time.

    Rock B

    Rock A
