MCQ
The acceleration due to gravity on the planet A is 9 times the acceleration due to gravity on planet B. A man jumps to a height of 2 m on the surface of A. What is the height of jump by the same person on the planet B?
  • 18 m
  • B
    6 m
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3} m$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{9} m$

Answer

Correct option: A.
18 m
(A)
$H _{\max }=\frac{ u ^2}{2 g}$
$H _{\max } \propto \frac{1}{g}$
On planet B value of g is $\frac{1}{9}$ times to that of A.
So value of $H _{\max }$ will become 9 times 2 x 9 = 18 metre
