The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is about one-sixth what it is on Earth. If an object is thrown vertically upward on the Moon, how many times higher will it go than it would on Earth, assuming the same initial velocity?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

since the only acceleration is due to gravity, so should just be 6 times higher but i would do the math to make sure, just use the kinematic equations and remember at the max height the velocity will be equal to zero.

put \[g=g/6\]\[v=0\] and given initial velocity in following equation \[v ^{2}=u ^{2}+2as\]
