  • I need help with this physics problem please!?

    Astronaut Alan Shephard took a golf ball to the Moon. He hit what is thought to be the longest golf drive in history. (The range of a projectile is inversely proportional to the acceleration due to gravity, so the range on the Moon is about six times longer than on Earth.)

    a) What speed would an astronaut need to give a lunar golf ball in order to put the ball in orbit around the Moon?

    b) Do you think it could be done?
