An astronaut on Mars kicks a soccer ball at an angle 45 ̊of with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. If the acceleration of gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s2, (a) what is the range of the soccer kick on a flat surface? (b) What would be the range of the same kick on the Moon, where gravity is one sixth that of Earth?
