Homework Statement
The strength of gravity on the moon is 1/6 of that on earth. If a ball is thrown straight upward on the moon with initial velocity Vo the ratio of the height it reaches to the height it would reach on earth, if also thrown upward with velocity Vo is:
2
1/6
6
depends on Vo
36
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
EDIT: I got 6 I want to know if this is correct because it is a review question for an exam I have in an hour. Can someone help me out? I solved 2 kinematic equations with Vo with the only knowns being the gravity acclerations and got x on Earth = Vo^2 / (2g) and x on the moon to be = 6Vo^2 / (2g)
