The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how high a person can throw a stone on a planet with a mass of \( \frac{1}{10} \) that of Earth and a radius of \( \frac{1}{3} \) that of Earth. We know that the person can throw a stone to a height of 90 meters on Earth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the formula for maximum height**: The maximum height \( H \) to which a stone can be thrown is given by the formula: \[ H = \frac{U^2}{2g} \] where \( U \) is the initial velocity of the throw and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Define variables for Earth and the planet**: Let: - \( H_e = 90 \, \text{m} \) (height on Earth) - \( g_e \) = acceleration due to gravity on Earth - \( H_p \) = height on the planet - \( g_p \) = acceleration due to gravity on the planet 3. **Set up the ratio of heights**: Using the formula for maximum height, we can set up the ratio: \[ \frac{H_e}{H_p} = \frac{U^2 / (2g_e)}{U^2 / (2g_p)} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{H_e}{H_p} = \frac{g_p}{g_e} \] 4. **Rearranging the equation**: Rearranging gives us: \[ H_p = H_e \cdot \frac{g_e}{g_p} \] 5. **Calculate the ratio of gravitational accelerations**: The acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is given by: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] Thus, the ratio of gravitational accelerations on Earth and the planet is: \[ \frac{g_e}{g_p} = \frac{M_e / R_e^2}{M_p / R_p^2} \] Given: - \( M_p = \frac{1}{10} M_e \) - \( R_p = \frac{1}{3} R_e \) Substituting these values into the ratio: \[ \frac{g_e}{g_p} = \frac{M_e / R_e^2}{(1/10) M_e / (1/3)^2 R_e^2} = \frac{1}{(1/10)} \cdot \frac{(1/3)^2}{1} = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \frac{10}{9} \] 6. **Substituting back to find \( H_p \)**: Now substituting back into the equation for \( H_p \): \[ H_p = 90 \cdot \frac{10}{9} = 100 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer: The height to which the person can throw the stone on the planet is **100 meters**.
