Question

7) The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is only one-sixth of that on Earth. If you hit a baseball on the Moon with the same effort (and at the speed and angle) that you would on Earth, the ball would land 7) _______ A) one-sixth as far. B) the same distance away. C) 6 times as far. D) 36 times as far.

Answer 1

Answer:

The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is only one-sixth of that on Earth. If we hit a baseball on the moon with the same effort(and at the speed and angle)that we would on earth, the ball would land 6 times as far. The ball on the moon will cover 6 times more distance than Earth.

Explanation:

Speed=distance travelled/Time required speed

Speed=d/t

Acceleration of gravity on earth=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration of gravity on Moon=1.62 m/s^2

So the maximum height of ball will be the ration of these both gravity.
