On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The acceleration free-fall on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 29 m/s at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal.
How long was the ball in flight?
How far did it travel?
How far would it travel on the moon other than on the earth?
Use the equation for range and time of flight for a projectile as shown below to find the solution
