As a 500-kg Moon lander is descending toward the surface, its thruster fires an upward force. At a height of 50m, the lander's velocity is 5.0m/s downward. At a height of 5m, its velocity is 0.5m/s downward. The Moon's gravitational field strength near its surface is 1.6 N/kg. Assume the mass of the lander remains nearly constant during the process.
Your answer is incorrect. What is the y-component of the average net force on the lander during this time interval?
