Answer:
The final velocity of feather, v = 2.106 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The initial velocity of the feather, u = 0 m/s
Freefall acceleration of the moon, a = 1.62 m/s²
Time taken by the feather to reach the lunar surface is, t = 1.3 s
The final velocity of the feather, v = ?
The equation of motion is given by the relation
v = u + at
Substituting the values in the above equation
v = 0 + 1.3 s · 1.62 m/s²
= 2.106 m/s
Hence, the speed of the feather right before it hit the lunar surface is, v = 2.106 m/s
