War is raging!
And you will need some high school physics to come to the rescue.
Two army captains are firing their artillery at each other over a level terrain. Captain Average fires his gun at 45 degrees to the ground at 39.2428 metres per second. Captain Ballistic also fires at 45 degrees to the ground but at 183.847 metres per second.
Assuming that the force of gravity is 10 metres per second, and there is no effect from air resistance, calculate:
i) The distance that Captain Average's shell will travel before it hits the ground. When you round to the closest integer, this will give you ABC.
ii) The time that Captain Ballistic's shell will be in the air. When you round to the closest integer, this answer gives you DE
The cache can be found at S 33 48.ABC E 151 08.DE8
Happy hunting and be careful out there! Remember to record the code so that you can solve All Puzzled Up #10
