Answer:

i) 3.514 s, ii) 5.692 m/s

Explanation:

i) We can use Newton's second law of motion to find out how long does it take for the Eagle to touch down.

as the equation says for free-falling

h = ut +0.5gt^2

Here, h = 10 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 1.62 m/s^2( on moon surface)

initial velocity u = 0

10 = 0.5×1.62t^2

t = 3.514 seconds

Therefore, it takes t = 3.514 seconds for the Eagle to touch down.

ii) use Newton's 1st equation of motion to calculate the velocity of the lunar module when it hits the surface of the moon

v = u + gt

v = 0+ 1.62×3.514

v= 5.692 m/s

When rockets split do they come back to earth?

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe what you mean is when they eject the old propulsion motors.  Yes, they land in the ocean and the US Navy retrieves them for later use.
