Question: The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 43.0 km a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell. = 649.15

The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 43.0 km

a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell. = 649.15 m/s

b) What maximum height does it reach? (At its highest, the shell is above a substantial part of the atmosphere--but air resistance is not really negligible as assumed to make this problem easier.)
