(A) It is zero at both points.
(B) It is zero at C, but at P it is not zero and is directed inward.

(D) It is not zero at either point.
It is zero at both points.

An object is thrown with velocity v from the edge of a cliff above level ground. Neglect air resistance. In order for the object to travel a maximum horizontal distance from the cliff before hitting the ground, the throw should be at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal of
(A) greater than 60° above the horizontal
(B) greater than 45° but less than 60° above the horizontal
(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal
(D) zero
(E) greater than zero but less than 45° below the horizontal
(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

What is the Ogopogo?

The theorem that states a black hole has only three independent physical properties: mass, electric charge, and angular momentum; the black hole is otherwise featureless. If the conjecture is true, any two black holes that share the same values for these properties, or parameters, are indistinguishable from one another.
