On Apollo Moon missions, the lunar module would blast off from the Moon's surface and dock with the command module in lunar orbit. After docking, the lunar module would be jettisoned and allowed to crash back onto the lunar surface. Seismometers placed on the Moon's surface by the astronauts would then pick up the resulting seismic waves. Find the impact speed of the lunar module, given that it is jettisoned from an orbit 110 km above the lunar surface moving with a speed of 1600 m/s .
My Approach:
Ei = Ef
1/2*m*vi2 - (G*m*ME)/(radius of moon + orbital distance) = 1/2*m*vf2 ​- (G*m*ME)/r
=> (0.5 * m * 16002) - (6.67 * 10-11 * 7.35*1022 * m/(1737.4*103 +180*103) = (0.5*m*v^2) - (6.67*10-11 * 7.35*1022 * m/(1737.4*103 )

Part 1: a magnetic levitation or maglev train rides rails without touching them. explain how this works using your data. include the appropriate magnet drawing in your answer. part 2: two objects are near a bar magnet. one is about 1 cm away, while the other is 6 cm away. compare and contrast the magnetic force that affects each object. use your data to answer the question

Electromagnetic induction. a coil of wire contains n turns and has an electrical resistance r. the radius of each turn is a. initially, inside the coil there exists a uniform magnetic field of magnitude b0 parallel to the axis of the coil. the magnetic field is then reduced slowly. the current induced in the coil is i. how long does it take for the magnitude of the uniform field to drop to zero?
