An army captain wants to fire an artillery shell deep into the enemy's flank. However, he knows that there are strong winds blowing above at height H that would blow his shells off course. If his artillery fires shells with muzzle velocity vo, what Is the farthest that he can fire them without their going off course?

The 222nd Field Artillery is practice firing at an old tank on the level plain below the hillside they are entrenched on. The hillside where they are located is 106 m above the valley floor. a) With a charge-five muzzle velocity of 811 m/s and the barrel elevated at 34° above the horizontal, how far will the shell go (downrange distance)? b) What will the velocity be at the instant the shell strikes the ground (magnitude and direction)? Can you answer both a and b
In a later chapter, you will find that the weight of a particle varies with altitude such that w=mgr02r2where r0is the radius of Earth and ris the distance from Earth’s center. If the particle is fired vertically with velocity v0from Earth’s surface, determine its velocity as a function of position r. (Hint: use adr=vdv, the rearrangement mentioned in the text.)

I am working on finding the inital velocity of a class II projectile and am having trouble determining the right amount of sig figs. The taken measurements of the initial position of x goes to 4 sig figs, as well as the final position for y. With that being said, I am trying to find the initial velocity of x and y separately through trionometry. For example, if I have an equation for the initial velocity of x with an angle of 40, then Vox=Vocos40 My question is, since the measured value for my angle is two significant figures, is my answer Vox=.76Vo also in two sig figs because it goes by the two significant figures from my measured angle, or should I go to four significant figures to match my measured values for x and y?
