A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 10.0 meter high cliff. The stone lands 15.0 meters away. The landing speed of the stone is equal to v. If the slingshot is then placed on a cliff with a height of 30.0 meters, what changed about the landing speed of the stone?

• v

• 3v

• 9v

• 1/3v
