Homework Statement
If you can hit a golf ball 180m on Earth, how far can you hit it on the Moon?
The Attempt at a Solution
Since this question deals with range;
sx = [vxi^2 sinΘ]/g
My problem is that I do not have the velocity at which the golf ball is being hit. As for the launch angle, I could make a probable assumption that the golf ball is launched at a 45°.
Would I be valid to make the assumption the ball would travel 6x further on the Moon than on the Earth given the gravitational pull on the Moon is 1/6 that of Earth?
