Question

You throw a baseball at an initial speed of 16.8 m/s at an angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal. What would the ball’s initial speed have to be at 30° on a planet that has twice the acceleration of gravity as Earth to achieve the same range? Consider launch and impact on a horizontal surface (level ground).

Select one:
a. 564.48 m/s
b. 16.80 m/s
c. 23.76 m/s
d. 5.80 m/s
