Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 244

Question: A projectile thrown with a speed $ v $ at an angle $ \theta $ has a range $ R $ on the surface of earth. For same $ v $ and $ \theta $ , its range on the surface of moon will be

Options:

A) $ R/6 $ B) $ 6R $ C) $ R/36 $ D) $ 36R $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Range is given by $ R=\frac{u^{2}\sin 2\theta }{g} $ On moon $ g _{m}=\frac{g}{6} $ . Hence $ R _{m}=6R $
