Complete Question
Apollo 14 astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. used an improvised six-iron to strike two golf balls while on the Fra Mauro region of the moon’s surface, making what some consider the longest golf drive in history. Assume one of the golf balls was struck with initial velocity v0 = 32.75 m/s at an angle θ = 32° above the horizontal. The gravitational acceleration on the moon’s surface is approximately 1/6 that on the earth’s surface. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the ball's initial position.
Randomized Variables
vo 32.75 m/s
theta 32 degrees
What horizontal distance, R in meters, did this golf ball travel before returning to the lunar surface?
Answer:
The horizontal distance is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial velocity is
The angle is
The gravitational acceleration of the moon is
Generally the distance traveled is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Answer:
<em>If the distance doubles, the gravitational force is divided by 4</em>
Explanation:
<u>Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation </u>
Objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
Where:
m1 = mass of object 1
m2 = mass of object 2
r = distance between the objects' center of masses
G = gravitational constant: 6.67\cdot 10^{-11}~Nw*m^2/Kg^2
If the distance between the interacting objects doubles to 2r, the new force F' is:
Operating:
Substituting the original value of F:
If the distance doubles, the gravitational force is divided by 4
