before leaving earth, the mass if an astronaut is measured to be 60kg. the astronaut lands on the moon and measures the acceleration of gravity to be 1.6 m/s^2. what is the mass of the astronaut at moon?

The answer is 2,475$+948= add you will get the answer rn

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
