The engine of lunar lander is shut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface of the moon and descending at 2.0 m/s. If the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2, what is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? (Hint: Make a diagram. Consider vector directions) 5.
