A rock is thrown from a cliff at an angle θ to the horizontal. Neglect air resistance.

a) Starting From Newton's second law, determine the location of the rock as a function of time in horizontal and vertical Cartesian coordinates.

b) If r(t) is the distance the rock is from its starting point, find what is the maximum value of θ for which r will continually increase as the rock flies through the air?
