A small object of mass M is shot horizontally from a spring launcher that is attached to a table. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible. The ball strikes the ground a distance D from the base of the table, as shown in the figure. A second object of mass M/2 is launched from the same launcher such that the spring is compressed the same distance as in the original scenario. The distance from the base of the table that the object lands is... A. greater than D/2 but less than D
B. D
C. greater than D but less than 2D
D. greater than or equal to 2D
