can someone please explain how to do this -

the highest point of the trajectory of a body is 300m and its horizontal range is 5000m. Find the initial velocity and angle of projection.

thank you!

does it land on the same plane?
if so, you can divide range by 2. so

at time t, y=300, x=2500. or alternatively, y=0, x=5000.

do some substitutions, and you should get V and theta :)
