Chapter 13, Problem 13.170(choose chapter or problem)
The Mars Pathfinder spacecraft used large airbags to cushion its impact with the planet’s surface when landing. Assuming the spacecraft had an impact velocity of 18.5 m/s at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with respect to the horizontal, the coefficient of restitution is 0.85 and neglecting friction, determine (a) the height of the first bounce, (b) the length of the first bounce. (Acceleration of gravity on \(Mars = 3.73 \ m/s^{2}\).)
