On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 33 m/s at an angle 36 ∘∘ above the horizontal.

A. How long was the ball in flight? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

B. How far did it travel? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

C. Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would it travel on the moon than on earth? Express your answer in meters.

Solutions

Expert Solution

page 1,In this question, simply equation of motion is used under care of component of the speed. Vertical component of speed will calculate the time of flight were as horizontal component of speed will calculate the horizontal distance(range).
