On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle 30Β° above the horizontal. a. How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth? b. For how much more time was the ball in flight?
