cat is brought by NASA to the moon during a future space mission. After arriving at the lunar surface, the cat is promptly shot out of a cannon at a speed of 100.0 m/s at angle of 35° relative to the horizontal, finally landing in a lunar crater 75.0 m deep. The gravity on the moon is approximately one-sixth that on the Earth. Break the cat’s initial velocity into component form, then organize the given information into: Initial x-position Final x-position Initial x-velocity x-acceleration Initial y-position final y-position initial y-velocity y-acceleration Finally, find the total time of flight and the horizontal displacement of the cat. How would these answers change if the experiment was performed on the Earth?

  1. A cat is brought by NASA to the moon during a future space mission. After arriving at the lunar surface, the cat is promptly shot out of a cannon at a speed of 100.0 m/s at angle of 35° relative to the horizontal, finally landing in a lunar crater 75.0 m deep. The gravity on the moon is approximately one-sixth that on the Earth. Break the cat’s initial velocity into component form, then organize the given information into:

    1. Initial x-position
    2. Final x-position
    3. Initial x-velocity
    4. x-acceleration
    5. Initial y-position
    6. final y-position
    7. initial y-velocity
    8. y-acceleration

    Finally, find the total time of flight and the horizontal displacement of the cat.

    How would these answers change if the experiment was performed on the Earth?
