A lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.

A small lead ball, attached to a 1.45-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled at a constant rate of three revolutions per second and is released on the upward part of the circular motion when it is 1.7 m above the ground. The ball travels straight upward. In the absence of air resistance, to what maximum height above the ground does the ball rise?
The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.54 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.392 s after your drop it.

A spacecraft has an initial speed of 3037 m/s at an angle of 27 degrees above the positive x axis. Two engines fire for 5.4 seconds, and produce an acceleration of 9.9 m/s/s at an angle of 18.5 degrees above the positive x axis. What is the final speed of the spacecraft? What angle is it at above the positive x-axis?
A particle is moved over an XY plane with acceleration components ax = 1.0 m/s2 and ay = -2.0 m/s2. Its initial velocity has components Vix = 8.0 m/s and Viy = 13 m/s. What is the speed of the particle after 4 seconds ?
A sailor is enjoying a nice day on his sailboat, sailing west with the wind at constant velocity. At one point the sailor spots an anchored buoy some distance to the east of the boat, and turns on his motor to head towards it. The boat kept gliding to the west for some distance before turning around and heading eastward. The boat was traveling initially with velocity v = -6.0i m/s and it took the the boat 2.0 s to turn around. What is the velocity of the boat, 5.0 s after the motor is turned on? The coordinate system is set up such that the +i direction is East. Pick the correct answer O +3.0î m/s O -9.0i m/s O -3.0î m/s o +9.0å m/s o +2.0i m/s
A juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 4.62 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball upward with an upward speed of v 0 so that it just reaches the ceiling. At the instant when the first ball is at ceiling, the juggler throws a second ball upward with 4v 0 /3 velocity. At what distance above the juggler’s hand do they pass each other?
A ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 3.00 m/s from a height of 7.00 m above the ground. What is its speed right before it hits the ground, in m/s? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.
You are playing Hot Rod toy cars with your nephew and niece. Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.00 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 4.5 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it. What was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the floor?
