A space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know the local units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along a leve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°. After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length. Assume the shuttle is small compared to the local length unit and that all atmospheric effects are negligible. Use x and y  components.
