Statement I: It takes more fuel for a spacecraft to travel from the earth to the Moon than for the return trip. Statement II: The point of zero gravitational field intensity due to the earth and the Moon is lying nearer to the Moon, i.e., in the diagram shown, for rltr_(0), E_(g) is towards the earth's centre and for rgtr_(0), E_(g) is towards the Moon's centre and at r=r_(0),E_(g) is zero.

Escape velocity from the moon surface is less than that on the earth surface, because

A spacecraft consumes more fuel in going the earth the moon than it takes for a return trip. Comment on this statement.

A block of ice on earth floats on water with 9//10 of its volume submerged. Statement-1: On moon the block of ice would float on water with less than 9//10 of its volume submerged. Statement-2: The acceleration due to gravity on moon surface is less than that on earth.

Astronaut can jump higher on the moon's surface than on the earth because

A: Evaporation of water is fast on the surface of moon as compared to earth. R: On the surface of moon temperature is much greater than the surface of earth.
