Assuming acceleration due to gravity of the moon is constant and there’s no initial velocity in the mans jump we can use one of the kinematic equations. x(final)=x(initial)+(1/2)gt^2. Plug in known values. 0=10-(1.62/2)t^2. The value 1.62 is acceleration of gravity on the moon. Now simply solve for t. t=3.513
It is powered by the Earth's rotation and the moon gives a little boost.
You look up the element in the periodic table. Subtract the atomic number (small number) from the mass number (big number). The answer is the number of neutrons.
Answer:
H = 1/2 g t^2 where t is time to fall a height H
H = 1/8 g T^2 where T is total time in air (2 t = T)
R = V T cos θ horizontal range
3/4 g T^2 = V T cos θ 6 H = R given in problem
cos θ = 3 g T / (4 V) (I)
Now t = V sin θ / g time for projectile to fall from max height
T = 2 V sin θ / g
T / V = 2 sin θ / g
cos θ = 3 g / 4 (T / V) from (I)
cos θ = 3 g / 4 * 2 sin V / g = 6 / 4 sin θ
tan θ = 2/3
θ = 33.7 deg
As a check- let V = 100 m/s
Vx = 100 cos 33.7 = 83,2
Vy = 100 sin 33,7 = 55.5
T = 2 * 55.5 / 9.8 = 11.3 sec
H = 1/2 * 9.8 * (11.3 / 2)^2 = 156
R = 83.2 * 11.3 = 932
R / H = 932 / 156 = 5.97 6 within rounding
