acceleration due to gravity help!
PROB: How long would it take for a mass of 1kg to fall a distance of 2m to the surface of the moon?
G=6.673*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2
R of moon = 1.76*10^6m
m of moon = 7.35*10^22kg
i started by finding the acceleration due to gravity by using g= (m)(G)/r^2
(m=mass of moon, G as the gravitational constant, r= radius of moon)
finding that g is 1.58m/s^2
now i am lost in what formula to use to get the displacement of this object?
