Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is `0.2` times the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. If `R_e` is the maximum range of a projectile on the earth's surface, what is the maximum range on the surface of the moon for the same velocity of projection

Options

A. `0.2 R_(e)`
B. `2R_(e)`
C. `0.5 R_(e)`
D. `5R_(e)`

Answer

D

Explanation

`R_("max")=(u^(2))/gimpliesR_("max")prop 1/g`
