On planet Arcon, the maximum horizontal range of a projectile launched at 10 m/s is 20 m. What is the acceleration of gravity on this planet?
On a planet very similar to Earth, but slightly denser, where acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2, a projectile is fire vertically from a height of 100 meters with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Its position above the ground after t seconds is given by h(t) = 100 + 40t − 5t2 meters.find the velocity of the projectile as it hits the ground
a ball was shot horizontally at 20m/s on a cliff. if the height of the cliff is 40m, what is the distance from the point where the cliff meets with the ground to the landing place of the ball on the ground?
