a projectile is launched on earth initial velocity v and it moveswithout air resistance. another projectile is launched on the moonwhere the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of that on earth.assume that both the earth and the moon are flat in thisproblem.
a. compare the horizontal distances that the retrospectiveprojectiles travel on earth and on the moon.
b. compare the maximum vertical hieght of the projectiles and thetime it takes to reach the maximum hieght for each.

A projectile is launched from Earth's surface at a certain initial velocity at an angle above the horizontal, reaching maximum height after time tmax. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity and angle from the surface of the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is one-sixth that of Earth. Neglecting air resistance (on Earth) and variations in the acceleration of gravity with height, how long does it take the projectile on the Moon to reach its maximum height?

a. 6t
b. t/6
c. 36t
d. t
