Answer to Problem 61GP
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Height of the ball on the moon,
Height of the ball on the earth,
Formula Used:
Let the gravitational acceleration on earth is
Where,
Write the expression to calculate the acceleration on the earth using second law of motion.
Calculation:
Since, the initial velocity is zero. Solve equation (1).
Substitute the value of
Substitute all the values in the above expression.
Conclusion:
Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is
