On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hits the ball with a speed of 15m/s at an angle 60^\circ above the horizontal.

How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?
Express your answer using two significant figures.

For how much more time was the ball in flight on the moon than it would have on earth?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
