A lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.
A rocket accelerates at 25m/s2 from rest on a frictionless inclined surface. The inclined ramp has a height of 70m and makes a 32 degrees angle above the ground.

- You and a couple friends have entered a diving competition during your March Break. You will be diving from the 5m (highest) platform at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool. You know that your acceleration while falling will be the acceleration of gravity, 9.81m/s2 , but you’re wondering about the rate at which you’ll be slowing down once you enter the water – and really – will it hurt. Science has shown us that 2 times the acceleration of gravity is exhilarating (like a roller coaster), but at 3 times the acceleration of gravity most people are uncomfortable. You estimate that it will take 0.64s to stop once you enter the water. You and your friends decide to figure out what your acceleration will be before you commit to making the dive.a) What will your acceleration in the water be?b) Will it hurt?arrow_forwardA rocket starts from rest and moves upward from What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? the surface of the earth.
