The maximum vertical distance through which a person can jump on the earth (1/2)m. Then the maximum vertical distance through which he can jumb on the moon is
[Initial velocity is same is both cases and acceleration due to gravity on the moon is `(1//6)^("th")` that on the earth]

Options

A. 2 m
B. 12 m
C. 6 m
D. 3 m

Answer

d

Explanation

`PE_(2)=PE_(1)`
`mg_(1)h_(2)=mg_(1)h_(1)`
`(1)/(6)gh_(2)=gxx(1)/(2)`
`h_(2)=(6)/(2)=3m`
