If you were on the moon. the acceleration of gravity would be 1.6 m/s^2. if you through a ball up at 40m/s, how long would it take for the ball to reach its maximum hieght?
what would happen to the distance an object on the moon falls compared to the distance an object falls on the Earth? compare something that fell for 5 sec and 10 sec
i really need help!! plz include steps so i can try to figure out how you did it!! thanks!

to reach its maximum hieght?
The ball will be at max height when the velocity decays to zero. Use
Vf = Vo + (-1.6m/s^2)*t
where Vf = 0.
distance an object on the moon falls?
Till it hits the ground!! Sorry little joke. I assume in this problem you're supposed to start with zero original velocity. Use
y = (1/2)*a*t^2
a = 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, 1.6m/s^2 on the moon
