Question:
In the final stages of a moon landing, the lunar module descends under retrothrust of its descent engine to within h = 5 m of the lunar surface where it has a downward velocity of 2 m /s. If the descent engine is cut off abruptly at this point, compute the impact velocity of the landing gear with the moon. Lunar gravity is of the earth’s 1/6 gravity.
