Projectile Motion Problem:

  1. The longest golf drive in professional golfing history was 515yards, by Mike Austin in 1974. Ignoring air resistance, estimatehow many kilometers he would have been able to drive the golf ballhad he hit it on the surface of Pluto. Express this distance as apercentage of Pluto’s circumference.

Pluto's circumference = 4494 miles

Pluto's gravity(acceleration) = 0.62 m/s^2

Maximum Range = 45.0 degrees

initial velocity (Just in case you need one) = 4.0 m/s

Note: I believe this problem uses "kinematic equations." Pleaseshow detailed solutions of the problem with legible handwriting.Thank you very much.
