Question

A planet has mass 1/10 of that of earth, while radius is 1/3 that of earth. If a person can throw a stone on earth surface to a height of 90 m, then he will be able to throw the stone on that planet to a height

  1. 90 m
  2. 40 m
  3. 100 m
  4. 45 m

The correct answer is: 100 m


    Acceleration due to gravity g equals fraction numerator G M over denominator R squared end fraction
    therefore    g subscript text plapet  end text end subscript over g subscript text earth  end text end subscript equals M subscript text planet  end text end subscript over M subscript text earth  end text end subscript open parentheses R subscript text earts  end text end subscript over R subscript text planet  end text end subscript close parentheses squared equals 1 over 10 cross times open parentheses 3 over 1 close parentheses squared equals 9 over 10
H equals fraction numerator u squared over denominator 2 g end fraction rightwards double arrow H subscript text planat  end text end subscript over H subscript text earth  end text end subscript equals g subscript text earth  end text end subscript over g subscript text planet  end text end subscript
rightwards double arrow    H subscript text planet  end text end subscript equals 10 over 9 cross times H subscript text earth  end text end subscript equals 10 over 9 cross times 90 equals 100 space m e t r e
