Question

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 seconds?

Given: g on moon = -1.63 meters/second2

Answer 1

The Answer is 66.0 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

66.0 meters

Answer 2

Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration of gravity) · (time)²

= (1/2) · (1.63 m/s²) · (9 sec)²

= (0.815 m/s²) · (81 sec²)

= 66 meters .

On Earth ... IF there were no air ... the feather would fall
397 meters in the same amount of time !
