Planet X was just discovered orbiting a nearby star! It orbits a start that is 4.6 times the mass of our sun in a solar system just 16.5 light-years away. The acceleration due to gravity there is 0.44 g. After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 4.0 m/s. What would happen if you were to launch a projectile at an angle of 34 degrees above horizontal on Planet X? (a) What maximum height would the projectile reach? (b) How far would the projectile travel before it hit the ground? Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.
