An object is shot out of a canon with a velocity of 20m/s at an angle of 300 to the horizontal.  If the cannon is on a platform that is 2m above the ground.  Determine if it will hit a target that is 4m high and 30m away from the canon.

Answer is no, when the object is at 30 will be 4.6m above the ground. Alternatively when the object is 4m above the ground isn31.5m away from target.
