Let's say you have a cannon that can launch a ball at 50 m/s. You aim it 40 degrees above the horizontal and fire. The ball will spend a certain amount of time in the air. (continued in details)

Will the ball spend more or less time in the air if you repeat this experiment on Jupiter (where the gravity is much stronger...g = 22.9 m/s2 there)?

To find the hang time You use V (final)=V(initial)-gt and multiply by 2 We use the vertical component of the velocity So t=v(f)-V(ini)/g Yes the hang time depends on the g value Higher the g value, less the hang time.
