<u>2-D Projectile Motion</u>
In 2-D motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration, while the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration due to gravity. The basic formulas for this type of movement are






The projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to three times its maximum height. We need to find the angle \theta at which the object should be launched. The range is the maximum horizontal distance reached by the projectile, so we establish the base condition:

Answer:
a) the one with a lower orbit b) the one with a higher orbit
Explanation:
Let's consider orbital mechanics. To get an object in orbit, we need it to fall to earth parallel to the earth's surface. To understand it easily imagine a projectile thrown horizontally further and further away, at one point, the projectile hits the cannon from behind. Considering there is no wind resistance, that would be a projecile in orbit.
In other words, the circular orbits of some objects around a massive body are due to the equality between centrifugal acceleration and gravity acceleration.
.
so the velocity is

where "G" is the gravitational constant, "M" the mass of the massive body and "r" the distance between the object and the center of gravity of mass M. As you can note, if "r" increase, "v" decrease.
The orbital period of any object in orbit is

where "a" is length of semi-major axis (a = r in circular orbits). So if "r" increase, "T" increase.
