You have learned how to calculate speed now in a number of different ways. In this question, you are to solve the same problem using (a) the law of conservation of energy and energy conversions and (b) those famous 5 kinematics equations...here is the problem: Mr. Kambo has decided to pay the exorbitant amount of money it costs to fly to the moon – it has been on his bucket list forever!! Being allowed out of the space craft, Mr. Kambo goes exploring reaching a cliff 34.5 m high overlooking the landing area. He decides to jump off the cliff testing out the fact that the gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on Earth. Calculate his speed of decent, just before he reaching the lunar surface.
