Question

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut AlanShepard hit a gojf ball with a 25 iron. The acceleration due togravity on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hitsthe ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle 36° above the horizontal.

How much farther did the ball travel on the moon thanit would have on earth?

How much farther did the ball travel on the moon thanit would have on earth?

Explanation / Answer

v^2=vo^2+2ax v is the same for earth and moon and so is vo, so we can simplify to: 2aexe =2amxm since we know am = 1/6 ae 2aexe =2(1/6)aexm divide both sides by ae 2xe = (1/3)xm multiply both sides by 3 xm = 6xe multiply both sides by 3 xm = 6xe
