Homework Statement
If you threw something vertically upward from the moon's surface where g=1.6N/kg [down], how many times higher would it reach compared to throwing it from the surface of the Earth with the same force? Neglect the effect of air resistance on the Earth.
Homework Equations
I don't know which equations to use. Without other variables, I don't know where to start. I am not necessarily looking for a solution, I just need help at getting my solution started.
I do know that
g=9.81N/kg on earth.
F=ma is likely a relevant equation, becuase g is an acceleration and the force and mass are both constants.
The Attempt at a Solution
g(earth)/ gmoon
=9.81/1.6
=6.13125
Does this make sense? The solution seems much too simple. :(
