A cannon fires a shell with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 53.0° above the horizontal. The shell impacts a mountainside 42.0 s after firing. Let the +x-direction be directly ahead of the cannon and the +y-direction be upward. Find the x- and y-coordinates of the shell's impact point, relative to its firing point (in m). x= m y= m
