Alunar lander is making its descent to moon base i. the lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. the engine is cut off when the lander is h = 5.5 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m/s. with the engine off, the lander is in free fall. what is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.

An fm radio station broadcasts at 9.23 x 107 hz. given that the radio waves travel at 3.00 x 108 m/s, what is the wavelength of these waves?

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.

How does an observation about an object differ from an inference about that object
