Problem to my students of Class 11

Well I recently gave a problem to my class 11 students which was interdisciplinary in nature.
They are supposed to plot the projectile's trajectory using Python programming language. Just to show them and myself that it is very easily do able I am uploading here the plot that I have programmed out. The plot they create should be similar though not exactly the same.

For a planet who mass = 6 x 10^24 kg and radius = 6400 km with an initial velocity = 200 m/s and an angle of 30 degrees, the plot should look like this.
I hope my students will be able to solve it too.
