Question

Scenario:

A landing party on the Moon discovers that the acceleration due to lunar gravity is g=1.6 ms2. An object is projected on the surface of the Moon in such a way as to provide an initial vertical component of velocity of 24 m/s, and a horizontal component of 32 m/s. *Reminder that a projectile is an object moving freely under the influence of gravity alone.

 

Procedure:

Answer the following questions using your knowledge of projectile motion. 

 

 

a. What is the initial velocity, vo, of the object?

 




b. How long will the object remain in flight? (assume surface is flat)

 




c. How high will the object go?



d. How far will the object travel?
