A lunar lander is descending toward the moon's surface. Until the lander reaches the surface, its height above the surface of the moon is given by y(t) = b – ct + dt², where b = 800 m is the initial height of the lander above the surface, c = 60.0 m/s, and d = 1.05 m/s². Calculate for the: (a) initial position of the lander; (b) initial velocity of the lander; and (c) initial acceleration of the lander.
