QUESTION:
Problem 52P
A projectile launched vertically from the surface of the Moon? rises to an altitude of 365 km. What was the projectile's initial speed?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3:
A projectile is launched from the surface of Moon and reaches an altitude equal to h and the final velocity v2 becomes zero. Now we are going to find the initial velocity v1 of the projectile.
The acceleration due to gravity of Moon gm = 1.62 m/s2
The radius of Moon R = 1.74 x 106 m
The altitude reached by the projectile h = 365 km = 3.65 x 105 m
