A compressed spring launcher projects a ball horizontally in a vacuum chamber.
On Earth, the ball reaches the chamber floor 3.0 m in front of the launcher.
An identical experiment is conducted on Jupiter, where the gravitational field strength is significantly greater than on Earth.
The experimental results on Jupiter are compared with those on Earth.
Which statement is correct?
The horizontal launch speed is the same on Jupiter, and the ball hits the floor less than 3.0 m3.0\text{ m}3.0 m in front of the launcher.
The horizontal launch speed is the same on Jupiter, and the ball hits the floor more than 3.0 m3.0\text{ m}3.0 m in front of the launcher.
The horizontal launch speed is greater on Jupiter, and the ball hits the floor 3.0 m3.0\text{ m}3.0 m in front of the launcher.
The horizontal launch speed is less on Jupiter, and the ball hits the floor less than 3.0 m3.0\text{ m}3.0 m in front of the launcher.
