Question
#EXAMPLE: On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hits the ball with a speed of 30m/s at an angle 20 degree above the horizontal.a)How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?
#Solution: L=300m
b)For how much more time was the ball in flight?
#solution: t=10s
*QUESTION: On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hits the ball with a speed of 25m/s at an angle 50 degree above the horizontal.
a)How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?
*Solution:???????
b)For how much more time was the ball in flight?
*Solution:???????
NOTE: plz answer the question. I want to make it easier for you so that I post an example with its answer. you notice its the same question but different numbers, so plz answer the question correctly.
Explanation / Answer
total time = 2vsin50 / a = 12 v sin50 / g s1-s = vcos 50 x 2vsin 50 x[1/ (g/6) - 1/g ] plug v = 25; g=9.8 much more time =12 v sin50 / g - 2 v sin50 / g a)314 m b) 19.54 s
