A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of  $5 \,m s^{-1}$ and angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of $3 \,m s^{-1}$ at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in $\,m s^{-1}$) is 
(Given $g = 9.8 \,m s^{-2}$)

A gun can fire shells with maximum speed $v_0$ and the maximum horizontal range that can be achieved is $R_{max} = \frac {v_0^2}{g}$.  If a target farther away by distance $\Delta x$ (beyond $R$) has to be hit with the same gun, show that it could be achieved by raising the gun to a height at least $h = \Delta x\,\left[ {1 + \frac{{\Delta x}}{R}} \right]$.
