The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of a projectile on the surfaces of the Earth and the Moon, using the given information about the gravitational acceleration (g) on both celestial bodies. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Values of g**: - The value of gravitational acceleration (g) on the surface of the Earth is approximately \(9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\). - On the surface of the Moon, the value of g is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of that on Earth. Therefore, \[ g_{\text{moon}} = \frac{g_{\text{earth}}}{6} = \frac{9.8}{6} \approx 1.63 \, \text{m/s}^2. \] 2. **Formulas for Projectile Motion**: - The time of flight (T), maximum height (H), and range (R) of a projectile launched with an initial velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) are given by: - Time of flight (T): \[ T = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g} \] - Maximum height (H): \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] - Range (R): \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] 3. **Calculating Time of Flight, Height, and Range on the Moon**: - Since \(g_{\text{moon}} = \frac{g_{\text{earth}}}{6}\), we can substitute this into the formulas: - Time of flight on the Moon (\(T_{\text{moon}}\)): \[ T_{\text{moon}} = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g_{\text{moon}}} = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{\frac{g_{\text{earth}}}{6}} = 6 \cdot \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g_{\text{earth}}} = 6T_{\text{earth}} \] - Maximum height on the Moon (\(H_{\text{moon}}\)): \[ H_{\text{moon}} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g_{\text{moon}}} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2 \cdot \frac{g_{\text{earth}}}{6}} = 6 \cdot \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g_{\text{earth}}} = 6H_{\text{earth}} \] - Range on the Moon (\(R_{\text{moon}}\)): \[ R_{\text{moon}} = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g_{\text{moon}}} = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{\frac{g_{\text{earth}}}{6}} = 6 \cdot \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g_{\text{earth}}} = 6R_{\text{earth}} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - From the calculations, we find that the time of flight, maximum height, and range on the Moon are all six times greater than those on the Earth: \[ T_{\text{moon}} = 6T_{\text{earth}}, \quad H_{\text{moon}} = 6H_{\text{earth}}, \quad R_{\text{moon}} = 6R_{\text{earth}}. \] ### Final Answer: The assertion is correct, and the reason is also correct as T, H, and R are inversely proportional to g. Hence, the values of T, H, and R on the surface of the Moon will indeed become six times those on the surface of the Earth.
