According to Newton's Second Law:
F = m*a = 2000 kg*3.5 m/s^2 = 7000 N
On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 of 9.8 m/s², so
g = 9.8/6 = 1.633 m/s²
Launch speed = 35 m/s
Launch angle = 27° above the horizontal.
Therefore,
The horizontal velocity is
u = 35*cos(27) = 31.1852 m/s
The vertical launch velocity is
v = 35*sin(27) = 15.8897 m/s
Part A
When the ball reaches maximum height, the time requires is given by
0 = v - gt
t = v/g = 15.8897/1.6333 = 9.7286 s
This is one half of the time of flight, which is
2*9.7286 = 19.457 s
Answer: 19.46 s (2 sig. figs)
B Protons and neutrons. Electrons are outside the nucleus.
