Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 53AP
(a) If a person can jump a maximum horizontal distance (by using a 45° projection angle) of 3.0 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/s2? (b) Repeat for Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38g.

A certain juggler usually tosses balls vertically to a height H.To what height must they be tossed if they are to spend twice as much time in the air?
The range of a projectile depends not only on v0 and but also on the value g of the free-fall acceleration, which varies from place to place. In 1936, Jesse Owens established a world’s running broad jump record of 8.09 m at the Olympic Games at Berlin (where g 9.8128 m/s2). Assuming the same values of v0 and , by how much would his record have differed if he had competed instead in 1956 at Melbourne (where g = 9.7999 m/s2)?
A sniper atop a building 150m high fired a bullet parallel to the horizontal with a speed of 1800km/h. Assuming that the bullet will hit its target, what would be the resulting range?
