Spring Gun: Planet X was just discovered orbiting a nearby star! It orbits a start
that is 6.9 times the mass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away.
The acceleration due to gravity there is 0.07
g.
After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to
other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s.
What would happen if you were to launch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° above
horizontal on Planet X?
(a) What maximum height would the projectile reach?
(b) How far would the projectile travel before it hit the ground?
Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.

Galileo dropped two cannonballs, a large one and a small one, from the Leaning Tower
of Pisa. They were both made of solid iron, but the large one (L) had a diameter twice
as large as the small one (S). Both balls started from rest, and they hit the ground at
the same time. Which of the following statements correctly describe the situation?
Choose all that apply. More than one answer may be correct.
O The Earth must have pulled harder on the smaller cannonball because it had less
inertia.
The Earth pulled on the two cannonballs equally hard.
O The two cannonballs fell with the same acceleration.
O The Earth must have pulled harder on the larger cannonball because it had more
inertia.
O The two cannonballs had the same amount of inertia.
a) To what height will a 450 g soccer ball rise if it is kicked directly upward at 8 m/s? b) Neglecting wind resistance, use your kinematic equations to determine how long does it take for the ball to get to the top of it's trajectory? c) What is the hang time of the ball?
