oops sorry. A wheeled car with a spring-loaded cannon fires a metal ball vertically.
If the vertical initial speed of the ball is 2.0 m/s as the cannon moves horizontally at a speed of 0.65 m/s, how far from the launch point does the ball fall back into the cannon?

Okay, use kinematic equations. Make sure to separate into horizontal, vertical components.

I tried using those equations. 0=0+2.0t-4.9t^2
From this I used the quadratic formula to find t and I keep getting negative answer that isn't right.
