The acceleration due to gravity there is 0.07 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 3.7 m/s. What would happen if you were to launch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° 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.
Planet X was just discovered orbiting
a nearby star! It orbits a start that is 6.9 times the
mass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-
years away. The acceleration due to gravity there
is 0.07 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 3.7 m/s.
What would happen if you were to
launch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° 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.

You launch a projectile from level ground at speed 22.0 at an angle of 29.0 above the horizontal. How far will the projectile travel horizontally, assuming it lands at the same height it was launched from (Δy = 0m)? (assume g = -9.81 m/s2)
