Paintball guns were originally developed to mark trees for logging. A forester aims his gun directly at a knothole in a tree that is 4.0 m above the gun. The base of the tree is 20 m away. The speed of the paintball as it leaves the gun is 50 m/s. Part A How far below the knothole does the paintball strike the tree? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
