Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:vs=5mph  , vk=7+vs=12mph

Explanation: kinematics with constant speed

(shaun) xs = 0 + vs*t

(keegan)  xk= 68 - vk*t

they meet after t= 4hours (xs=xk):

vs*t=  68-vk*t

but we know that vk=7+vs ( keegan faster) replacing:

vs*4= 68-(7+vs)*4

solving vs=5mph  , vk=7+vs=12mph
