The time taken for an object to fall from a height of h m from the earth'fs surface is t s.

If the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.6 m s.2, compare the time taken of the
object to fall from the same height on the Moon.

A Same as t s
B Less than t s
C Longer than t s

Answer:

B. Longer than t s,

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational accln on earth is 9.8 m/s^2,

and one you provided as on moon is 1.6 m/s^2

that mean on moon gr. accl. is lesser!

now the time taken on earth will be lesser cuz from the same height if you drop the object from rest!

since accln on earth is higher,the object will attain higher velocity as compare to that of on moon!
