A ball is thrown straight upward on the Moon. Is the maximum height it reaches less than, equal to, or greater than the maximum height reached by a ball thrown upward on the Earth with the same initial speed (no air resistance in both cases)?
They will have the same kinetic energy as the release for both. (1/2)mV^2=mgh so h=5V^2/g if g is 1/6 that on Earth the h will be 6 times higher on the moon. Also look up the question on google because someone posted it on o p e n s t u d y and had a better and more clear explanation then me.
