On the moon the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.6 m/s2 if someone on earth can throw a baseball 24.2 m high how high could she throw it on the moon

Respuesta :

Answer:

148 m

Explanation:

On Earth, where g = 9.8 m/s²:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (24.2 m)

v₀ = 21.8 m/s

On the Moon, where g = 1.6 m/s²:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (21.8 m/s)² + 2 (-1.6 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 148 m
