The planet Jupiter revolves around the Sun in a period of about 12 years (3.79 × 108 seconds). What is its mean distance from the center of the Sun? The mass of the Sun is 1.99 × 1030 kilograms. A. 1.1 × 1011 meters B. 1.5 × 1011 meters C. 2.3 × 1011 meters D. 5.8 × 1011 meters E. 7.8 × 1011 meters

Pe = 1/2k(x)^2  and .05n/m = .05x10^-9m = x 

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
