When a projectile is fired horizontally at speed v from a height d above the surface of a table, it travels a distance of L horizontally before it hits the table, as shown in the figure. v d d V L Next, the same projectile is fired horizontally at the same speed v but from a height of 2d above the surface of the table. How far will the projectile travel horizontally before hitting the table?
