The motion would be best described as B) an up-and-down motion on the surface of the earth
Well, I'm not sure right now that it actually does.
But if it does, that's because the sun is about 400 times
FARTHER from the Earth than the moon is.
They would hit the ground at the same time. No matter the weight laws of physics.
Hi there!
We can use the following equation to derive acceleration:
vf = vi + at, where:
vi = 0 m/s (starts from rest)
a = acceleration
time = time (sec)
Rewrite:
vf = at
Solve for acceleration:
vf/t = a
30/6 = 5 m/s²
