A pumpkin of mass 5 kg shot out of a student-made cannon under air pressure at an elevation angle of 45° fell at a distance of 142 m from the cannon. The students used light beams and photocells to measure the initial velocity of 54 m/s. If the air resistive force was F = -kmv, what was the value of k?
