Question 1015058: Hello, could you please help me with this word problem: In 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard hit to golf balls on the moon. A golf enthusiasts of the future decides to play golf on many worlds throughout the solar system, and hits the golf ball consistently at an angle of 45� and a speed of 144 feet per second. The path of the golf ball can be modeled by the quadratic equation: y=- g/20736 x^2+x where X is the balls horizontal position (in feet) and G is its corresponding height (in feet) and she is the acceleration due to gravity (in feet per second squared).
When the golf ball is hit on Jupiter's moon Ganymede, it travels a horizontal distance of 4431 feet and reaches a maximum height of 1108 feet. What is the value of G on Ganymede?
