Compute each part of given question:

Question: 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 17m/s at an angle 50 degree above the horizontal.

Part A: How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?

Part B: For how much more time was the ball in flight?

I need help to solve the above question and express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
