An astronaut on the moon throws a 5.0 kg wrench vertically upwards with an initial speedof 15 m/s . The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is one-sixth that on the surface of the earth. What is the maximum height reached by the wrench?

  1. Use the conservation of energy. On launch, the wrench has a kinetic energy of ½mv², and at it's maximum height a potential energy of mgh.

    PE = KE

    mgh = ½mv²

    h = v²/2g

    Where g is the acceleration of gravity on the moon .


  2. u=15

    v=0

    a=-g/6

    0=225-gs/3

    gs=675

    s=675/g

    Substitute d value of acc. due to gravity (Of earth) in place of g.

  3. It's the same equation as that on earth except you replace g with g/6
