The orange jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) has seed pods that explode when lightly touched, launching the seeds as projectiles to disperse them. Suppose a seed is launched at 1.2 m/s from a height of 1.1 m. Assume air resistance is negligible and that the seed follows a clear path to the ground. 

(a) If the seed is launched horizontally, at what horizontal distance from the seed pod does the seed hit the ground? 

(b) If the seed is launched at 17° above the horizontal, at what horizontal distance does the seed hit the ground? 

(c) In the second case, the horizontal distance measured is 0.44 m. Was air resistance negligible?
