if a person can jump a maximum horizontal distance ( by using a 45 degrees projection angle) of 3.66 m on earth, what would be his maximum range on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is g/6 and g = 9.80 m m/s^2? (a) give the answers in meters.. (b) repeat for mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 g.
Galileo's Martian descendants find that when they release balls down ramps to fly off
tables that the relationship of table height h to the horizontal range of flight and the
launch velocity v is h = 1.5 (3) ²
They determine that releasing the ball from a 0.5-meter high ramp produces a launch
velocity of around 1.9 m/s. What horizontal range before hitting the ground will the
ball cover if launched off a 0.8-meter high table at this speed?
An object is thrown off the top of a 42 m tall building with a velocity of 475 m/s at an angle of 10.4° with respect to the horizontal.
(a) How long is the object in the air in seconds?
(b) What is the maximum height the object reaches above the ground in meters?
c) What is the horizontal distance the object covers in meters?
