That, I don't know.. I think you'd need something else in there to get an approx. position..
Things falling have a terminal velocity... If it's terminal velocity is maxed at say 200mph. Well if you can reach that speed from falling 1000 feet.. how do you know it wasn't dropped 10000 feet? or 1200 feet? It can't go faster so you know it at least fell 1000 feet.. And mortar's can shoot what? Mile or more? (I don't know.. I'm asking). So I don't think so.. but could be wrong. On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 9:32 AM, G Money <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Really?
