Apollo astronauts took a "nine iron" to the Moon and hit a golf ball about 180 m.

Part A

Assuming that the swing, launch angle, and so on, were the same as on Earth where the same astronaut could hit it only 32 m, estimate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon. (We neglect air resistance in both cases, but on the Moon there is none.)

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

gMoon =

    So in calculating this one its is really hard to explain how i get it on solve it but you must consider this factors that i give in getting the answer. First is the distance cover by the ball when it is hit by the club, Second is you must estimate both of those data when it is in the moon and in the earth whre the gravity of the earth is 9.8m/s^2 so by calculating the Gravity of the moon or gMoon is equal 1.74m/s^2
