On Apollo Moon missions, the lunar module would blast off from the Moon's surface and dock with the command module in lunar orbit. After docking, the lunar module would be jettisoned and allowed to crash back onto the lunar surface. Seismometers placed on the Moon's surface by the astronauts would then pick up the resulting seismic waves. Find the impact speed of the lunar module, given that it is jettisoned from an orbit 110 km above the lunar surface moving with a speed of 1600 m/s .
My Approach:
Ei = Ef
1/2*m*vi2 - (G*m*ME)/(radius of moon + orbital distance) = 1/2*m*vf2 ​- (G*m*ME)/r
=> (0.5 * m * 16002) - (6.67 * 10-11 * 7.35*1022 * m/(1737.4*103 +180*103) = (0.5*m*v^2) - (6.67*10-11 * 7.35*1022 * m/(1737.4*103 )

Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. the researchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. they left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. when the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. the researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth. which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified? the experiment tested too many variables. the control group was not treated the same as the experimental group. the sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough. the single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.
