Question

A levitating superconductor on Earth starts at rest and is accelerated down a flat, straight track that is sitting on a table. the track has a length l=30.1cm. it❝s acceleration can be described using the equation a(t)= bt where b = 1.1m/s3. at the end of the track it falls a distance h=52.1cm before it hits the ground. as falling the superconductor continues to experience the horizontal acceleration it felt before. a) how far horizontally from the edge of the track does the superconductor land? b) if this experiment were repeated on the moon, how far horizontally from the edge of the track does the superconductor land? c) if this experiment were repeated on mars, far horizontally from the edge of the track does the superconductor land?
