How did specific discoveries in Ballistics shape scientific thinking?

I am trying to complete the task outlined in the attachment. I would like to provide a timeline specific to the field of ballistics because it has been influential in developing so many technologies from weapons to space flight but am struggling with how specific discoveries “shaped scientific thought”. This is the list of events I’ve selected from wikipedia:

In 1537, Niccolò Tartaglia did some test firing to determine the maximum angle and range for a shot. His conclusion was near 45 degrees. He noted that the shot trajectory was continuously curved.[15]

In 1636, Galileo Galilei published results in “Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences”. He found that a falling body had a constant acceleration. This allowed Galileo to show that a bullet’s trajectory was a curve.[16][17]

Circa 1665, Sir Isaac Newton derived the law of air resistance and stated it was inversely proportional to the air resistance. Newton’s experiments on drag were through air and fluids. He showed that drag on shot increases proportionately with the density of the air (or the fluid), cross sectional area and weight of the shot. Newton’s experiments were only at low velocities to about 260 m/s (853 ft/s).[18][19][20]

In 1718, John Keill challenged the Continental Mathematica, “To find the curve that a projectile may describes in the air, on behalf of the simplest assumption of gravity, and the density of the medium uniform, on the other hand, in the duplicate ratio of the velocity of the resistance”. This challenge supposes that air resistance increases exponentially to the velocity of a projectile. Keill gave no solution for his challenge. Johann Bernoulli took up this challenge and soon thereafter solved the problem and air resistance varied as “any power” of velocity; known as the Bernoulli equation. This is the precursor to the concept of the “standard projectile”.[21]

In 1753, Leonhard Euler showed how a theoretical trajectories might be calculated using his method as applied to the Bernoulli equation, but only for resistance varying as the square of the velocity.[25]

In 1881, the Commission d’Experience de Gâvre did a comprehensive survey of data available from their tests as well as other countries. After adopting a standard atmospheric condition for the drag data the Gavre drag function was adopted. This drag function was known as the Gavre function and the standard projectile adopted was the Type 1 projectile. Thereafter, the Type 1 standard projectile was renamed by Ballistics Section of Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, USA as G1 after the Commission d’Experience de Gâvre. For practical purposes the subscript 1 in G1 is generally written in normal font size as G1.[70][71]

The first successful test flight of a V2 Rocket was on 3 October 1942, reaching an altitude of 84.5 kilometres (52.5 miles):[3]
