Representation of data — practice question

(main)[5]

A particle is projected at speed $V\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ at an angle of $\theta^\circ$ above the horizontal. After $4\ \text{s}$, the particle has speed $16\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ and is moving at $30^\circ$ above the horizontal. Find $V$ and $\theta$.
