A dart gun is fired while being held horizontally at a height of 1.00 m above ground level and while it is at rest relative to the ground. The dart from the gun travels a horizontal distance of 5.00 m. A college student holds the same gun in a horizontal position while sliding down a 45.0° incline at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s. How far w ill the dart travel if the student fires the gun when it is 1.00 m above the ground?
