A rock climber throws a small first aid kit to another climber who is higher up the mountain. The initial velocity of the kit is 11 m/s at an angle of 65 degrees above the horizontal. At the instant when the kite is caught, it is traveling horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero. What is the vertical height between the two climbers?
