Answers:</h2>
This is a<u> parabolic movement</u>, this means it has an X-component and Y-component, and is described by the following equations:
<u>For the Velocity:</u>
(1)
Where is the initial Velocity and
(2)
Where is the final Velocity, which in this case is zero and is the acceleration due gravity in the moon.
<u>For the distance :</u>
Where and are the components of the initial position of the ball and we will assume it as zero in our reference system.
Therefore the equation for distance becomes:
(3)
And can be written as:
(4)
Having this established, let's begin with the answers:
<h2>(a) The time of flight for the golf ball</h2>
For this case, the equation of the velocity will be useful <u>(equation 2):</u>
(5)
Substituting the known values and solving to find
(6) >>>>This is the time of flight for the golf ball
<h2>b) The range (distance traveled by the ball)</h2>
For this case, the equation of the distance will be useful <u>(equation 4)</u>:
Substiting the value of found on (6):
(7)
Solving and finding :
(8)
>>>>This is the range of the golf ball
