Question

An object is dropped onto the moon (gm = 5 ft/s2). How long does it take to fall from an elevation of 250 ft.?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

250 = 0 + (0) t + ½ (5) t²

250 = 2.5 t²

t² = 100

t = 10

It takes 10 seconds to land from a height of 250 ft.

Answer 2

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

It takes 10 seconds for an object to fall from an elevation of 250 ft.

250 = 0 + (0) t + ½ (5) t²
