  1. ​The acceleration due to gravity on the planet A is 9 times the acceleration due to gravity on 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?​​
    1. 2
      m
      3
    2. 2
      m
      9
    3. 18 m
    4. 6 m
Correct Option: C

Applying conservation of total mechanical energy principle

1
mv2 = mgAhA = mgBhB
2

⇒ gA hA = gB hB
⇒ hB =
gA
hA = 9 × 2 = 18 m
gB
