In the projectile motion experiment, a steel ball is rolled down a track starting from a height \( \mathbf{h} \) above end of the track. The ball flies off of the end of the track and then strikes the floor at some horizontal distance \( \boldsymbol{d} \) out from the projection of the end of the track down onto the floor. The apparatus is moved to a different table where the end of the track is now three times h. How does the new horizontal distance compare to the previous? The new distance is \( 1.2 \mathrm{~d} \). The new distance is \( 1.6 \mathrm{~d} \). The new distance is \( 2.0 \mathrm{~d} \). The new distance is \( 1.7 \mathrm{~d} \). The new distance is \( 1.5 \mathrm{~d} \). The new distance is \( 1.4 \mathrm{~d} \). The new distance is \( 0.7 \mathrm{~d} \).
