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 Shepard hit the ball with a speed of 24 m/s at an angle 29◦ above the horizontal. (a) How long was the ball in flight? (b) How far did it travel horizontally? (c) Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would this ball travel on the Moon than on Earth?

Does a car moving around a circular track with constant speed have (a) zero acceleration, (b) an acceleration in the direction of its velocity, (c) an acceleration directed away from the center of its path, (d) an acceleration directed toward the center of its path, or (e) an acceleration with a direction that cannot be determined from the given information?
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 16 m/s at an angle 55° above the horizontal.
Curiosity, the Mars rover designed to explore Gale Crate has a maximum speed of 0.14 km/h. If the rover was moving at this speed on a flat Martian surface and hit a small bump that projected it off the surface at an angle of 28°, how long would it be “airborne” on Mars given that the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.711 m/s²?
On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The free fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle 30° above the horizontal. How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth
A boy throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stop watch measures the stone's trajectory time from the top of the cliff to the bottom to be 5.0 s. (a) What is the height of the cliff? (b) How far does the stone travel horizontally? (c) What is the total acceleration of the stone while it is in the air?

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v 20.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 26.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? Xo = m Yo- m (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? m/s m/s Vox= Voy in seconds. Do not include units in your
A golf ball struck on earth rises to a maximum height of 60 m and hits the ground 230 m away. How high will the same golf ball travel on the moon if the magnitude and direction of its velocity are the same as they were on earth immediately after the ball was hit? Assume that the ball is hit and lands at the same elevation in both cases and that the effect of the atmosphere on the earth is neglected, so that the trajectory in both cases is a parabola. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 0.165 times that on earth.
A ball is thrown into the air at 60° angle to the ground, takes a parabolic path, and is in the air for a total time of 4 s. If the upward direction from the ground is positive, what is the best estimate of the ball’s velocity at a time 3 s after it leaves the ground?
A marble rolls off a tabletop 1.1 m high and hits the floor at a point 3.9 m away from the table's edge in the horizontal direction. (a) How long (in s) is the marble in the air? (b) What is the speed of the marble (in m/s) when it leaves the table's edge? m/s (c) What is its speed (in m/s) when it hits the floor? m/s
One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Tim Lincecum in 2009, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h. If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft away?
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 1/61/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 28 m/sm/s at an angle 31o above the horizontal. Express your answer using two significant figures. (a) How long was the ball in flight?(b) How far did it travel?(c) How much farther would it have traveled on the moon than on earth?
