Throwing a ball on the moon |
2008-05-21 |
|
From leria:
equation for motion of moon is h=2.67t^2 + vt + s
equation for earth h=-16t + vt + s
Suppose you are on an outpost on the moon and Jan is back on Earth. Both people toss a ball from a height of 96 feet with an initial velocity of 16 feet per second. How much longer will your ball stay in motion on the moon than Jan's on the earth?
Math Central,
I'm having a difficult time understanding which numbers to plug into the formula.
