A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height H = 31.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle theta = 47.9° above the horizontal, and with a speed v = 30.9 m/s. Assuming that air friction can be neglected, calculate the horizontal distance D traveled by the projectile. if the answer involves using quadratic formula to find time, please show all work....
