Question

IM LITERALLY CRYING CUZ I DONT KNOWTHIS AND IM SO FUSTRATED SO PLZ HELP I BEG OF U
On Earth, Yancy hits a golf ball as hard as he can. The golf ball flies 150 meters before hitting the ground. About how far would the golf ball fly if Yancy hit it on the surface of Mercury with exactly the same amount of force and in the same direction?

(Ignore the air resistance on both planets.)
A.
less than 150 meters
B.
more than 150 meters
C.
150 meters
D.
150 yards

Answer 1

Answer:

B.  

more than 150 meters

Explanation:

As we know that the range of projectile motion on the surface of earth is given by the formula

$R = \frac{v^2sin(2\theta)}{g}$

so here on the surface of earth the gravity is given as g = 9.8 m/s/s

now if the golf ball is hit on the surface of earth then it range is given as R = 150 m

while if we hit the ball at surface of mercury then on the surface of mercury the gravity will be g = 3.7 m/s/s

so due to decrease in the magnitude of gravity the range on the surface of mercury will be more than 150 m

Answer 2

Answer:

B. More that 150 meters.
