A stone is thrown off the top of a building from a height of 40.0 m. The stone has a launch of angle of 30 degrees and an initial velocity of 200 m/s.

How long is the stone in flight?

How far from the base of the building does it travel?

At what velocity, and at what angle, does the stone impact the ground?
