A heavy particle is projected from a point at the foot of a flying plane, inclined at an angle 45° to the horizontal, in the vertical plane containing the line of greatest slope through the point. If (> 45°) is the inclination with the horizontal of the initial direction of projection, for what value of tan(theta) will the particle strike the plane?

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?

An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.435 m above his mouth. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? Assume vfy = 0.

Assume that, at the initial instant to = 0, a particle is thrown with initial speed vo and with an initial angle θo, with respect to a direction parallel to the Earth's surface. In this way, in order to carry out an analytical study of its motion in a simpler way, consider a coordinate system xoy, with its origin at the particle's launch position, and with its positive x axis oriented in the direction of the horizontal motion of the particle and with its positive y-axis oriented vertically upward. In this sense, illustrate (make the force diagrams) the projectile launch, highlighting its main characteristics, and describe algebraically what is asked:
