Answer
a) For the rock






b)
for maximum range




c) The value of θ is the same on every planet as g divides out.
Power can be calculate through the equation,
Power = Force x velocity
It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power.
Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
<em> </em><span><em>Power = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>
We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

where
is the change in internal energy of the system
is the heat absorbed by the system
is the work done by the system on the surrounding
In this problem, the work done by the system is

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.
Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find
