Question
A spacecraft flying horizontally over the surface of the moon at an elevation of 1500m with a speed of 350m/s, drops a package with a mass of 1200kg to astronauts on the surface. Use gm= 1.6m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon.
a)How long does it take the package to hit the surface after it is dropped?
b)How far ahead (distance) of the package’s landing spot should the package be released?
c)What is the velocity of the package just before it hits the surface?
d)What is the magnitude of the velocity of the package just before it hits the surface of the Moon?
