Example: Gravitational force and Kinematic equations on the Moon
Video
Part 1:
The diagram to the right (in the video) represents the motion of a rock launched from the surface of the moon. The rock is 2 kg, reaches a maximum height of 5 m, and is launched at an angle of 30 degrees.
a) Calculate 'g' on the moon.
Part 2:
b) What is the initial y-direction velocity of the rock?
Part 3:
c) How long does it take for the rock to reach its maximum height?
Part 4:
d) How far in the x-direction did the rock travel?
