i need the answer quickly
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?
For the given situation attached, what is the initial, vertical velocity (viy) of the projectile be? Explain either qualitatively or quantitatively (or both)?
