Question

1 ) The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is only 1/6 of that on Earth. If you hit a baseball with the same speed and angle that you would on Earth, how far would the ball would land?
A) at the same distance
B) 1/6 as far
C) 6 times as far
D) 36 times as far

2 ) An airplane is flying horizontally 100 m above the ground at 50.0 m/s and drops a parcel. Ignoring air resistance, where will the airplane be with reference to the place the object hits the ground?
A) In front of the point of impact.
B) Over the point of impact.
C) Past the point of impact.
D) It depends on the speed and altitude of the plane.
