Question: Martian Athletics in the long jump, an athlete launches herself at an angle above the ground and lands at the same height, trying to travel

Martian Athletics in the long jump, an athlete launches herself at an angle above the ground and lands at the same height, trying to travel the greatest horizontal distance. Suppose that on earth she is in the air for time T, reaches a maximum height h, and achieves a horizontal distance D. If she jumped in exactly the same way during a competition on Mats, where gMars is 0.379 of its earth value, find her time in the air maximum height, and horizontal distance. Express each of these three quantities in terms of its earth value. Air resistance can be neglected on both planets.
