Part B
What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep its velocity roughly constant? Explain why, using Newton's first
law of motion.

Answer:

Force is zero.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's second law, when an object is moving with an acceleration the force acting on the object is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the object.

F = m a

if the object is moving with uniform velocity, the acceleration is zero, and thus, the force is also zero.  

Answer: Near the moon’s surface, a thrust over 11,250 N but under 13,500 N would make it travel at a constant vertical velocity.

Explanation: .Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion continues to move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In accordance with this law, the lunar lander moves in a downward direction toward the surface of the moon under the influence of force due to gravity. A thrust somewhere between 11,250 and 13,500 balances this gravitational force out.
