no because it will reach 3,600 feet.
60 x 3 = 180
180 x 20 = 3,600

We know that their is 60 seconds in a minute so we need to make 3 mins into seconds. 60x3=180. If it falls 20 ft/sec then we can do 20x180 and see if it is more or less than 4,200. 20x180 is
3,600
so,
No
it will not reach it in less than 3 mins.
