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 12.8 m/s at an angle of 65.7° above the horizontal. At the instant when the kit is caught, it is traveling horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero. What is the vertical height difference between the two climbers?
