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

A

`0.2R_e`

B

`2R_e`

C

`0.5R_e`

D

`5R_e`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`R_(max)=(u^2)/g,(R_e)/(R_m)=(g_m)/(g_e)=(0.2g)/grArr(Rmax)_m=5R_e`
