    The acceleration due to gravity on the planet A is 9 times the acceleration due to gravity on the planet B. A man jumps to a height of 2m on the surface of A. What is the height of jump by the same person on the planet B?

    A)  6m                 

    B)  2/9 m

    C)  2/3m              

    D)  18m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     It is given that acceleration due to gravity on plane. A is 9 times the acceleration due to gravity on planet B i.e., \[{{g}_{A}}=9{{g}_{B}}\] ?..(i) From third equation of motion \[{{v}^{2}}=2gh\] At planet \[A,{{h}_{A}}=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2{{g}_{A}}}\]                      ...(ii) At planet \[S,{{H}_{B}}=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2{{g}_{B}}}\]                      ...(iii) Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (iii) we have \[\frac{{{h}_{A}}}{{{h}_{B}}}=\frac{9{{g}_{B}}}{{{g}_{A}}}\] From Eq. (i), \[{{g}_{A}}=9{{g}_{B}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{h}_{A}}}{{{h}_{B}}}=\frac{{{g}_{B}}}{9{{g}_{B}}}=\frac{1}{9}\] or    \[{{h}_{B}}=9{{h}_{B}}=9\times 2=18\,m\]   \[(\therefore {{h}_{A}}=2m)\]
