If that projectile is fired from ground level, its height (in meters) t seconds after being shot would be give by the equation
(the 4.9 number is half of the acceleration of gravity in ).
Solving would give us the time when it hits the ground.
Dividing both sides of the equation by we get
so the projectile is at ground level at t=0 (we knew that) and at t=120, .
