Transcribed Image Text:**Projectile Motion of an Armor-Piercing Tank Shell**
**Problem Statement:**
The M829 armor-piercing tank shell has a total weight of 41.1 lb and a muzzle velocity of 1,670 m/s (5,500 ft/s). How far will the shell travel horizontally if its total vertical parabolic displacement is 45 m high? Assume the shell is fired and lands on the same horizontal plane.
**Table and Diagram Explanation:**
The problem is accompanied by a table with the following columns:
1. **Diagram of Situation:** Includes an image of the shell.
2. **Horizontal (x):**
- \( v_i \)
- \( v \)
- \( d \)
- \( a \)
- \( t \)
3. **Vertical (y):**
- Corresponding empty cells for calculations.
4. **Calculations:** Empty space for detailed mathematical work.
The task involves determining the horizontal distance traveled by the shell using principles of projectile motion. The calculations will relate both horizontal and vertical components of the projectile's path.
