I was standing at the top of a building and wanted to hit the bulging root of the big tree below. The building was ninety meters in height and the tree was sixty meters away from the foot of the building. Using a stone, would T hit the target if I use a speed of 18 m/s speed for the stone? Or would I miss it? If yes, then prove it. If no, then at what distance will I miss the target?
