Astronauts on our moon must function with an acceleration due to gravity of 0.17g.

  1. If the astronaut throws a certain wrench 13 m vertically upwards on earth, how high could he throw it on the moon if he gives the same initial speed at both places?
  2. How much longer would it be in motion (going up and coming down) on the moon than on earth?
