On the Moon, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s2 and there is no atmospheric drag. During Apollo 14, Alan Shepherd hit a golf ball on the Moon. If he hit the ball at an angle of 20° with an initial velocity of 35 m/s, find the total time the ball was above the ground. Assume it landed at the same height as it was hit.

A coffee filter is dropped from rest and reaches a terminal velocity of 1 m/s. The cross section area of the filter is .017 m2 and it has a mass of 0.00084 kg. What is the drag coefficient of the filter? The density of air is 1.2 kg/m3. The drag force is proportional to v2.
