Concept explainers
The height gained by an object thrown on Moon as a factor of the height gained by same object on Earth thrown with same initial velocity
Answer to Problem 58GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
For Earth:
Initial velocity of object
Final velocity of the object
Height gained by object
Displacement of object
Acceleration of the object
For Moon:
Initial velocity of object
Final velocity of the object
Height gained by object
Displacement of object
Acceleration of the object
Formula Used:
Displacement of the object in accelerated motion is given as
Calculation:
Displacement of the object on earth is given as
Displacement of the object on moon is given as
Divide equation (2) by equation (1).
Conclusion:
Therefore, height gained is six times the height gained on Earth
