4.3 Exercise 22

Avg difficulty 2.5

An astronaut on Mars kicks a soccer ball at an angle of 45°45 ° with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. If the acceleration of gravity on Mars is 3.7m/s23.7 \text{m}/ \text{s}^{2}, (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?
