The horizontal distance traveled by a ball moving with initial velocity v0 is x = v0,xt  where v0,x is the x-component of v0. A student measures a height of 1.27m for the gun when it is positioned horizontally. The time it will take for the ball to hit the ground when launched is 0.509s. The ball travels 1.5 meters horizontally before hitting the ground. Using the equation  x = v0,xt calculate the launch velocity of the gun.
