the K.E. of the ball becomes P.E. at its peak
1/2 m v^2 = m g h
the only difference on the moon is that g is 1/6 of Earth
so h will be six times the Earth value
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon
is about one-sixth its value on earth.
If a baseball reaches a height of 50 m when
thrown upward by someone on the earth,
what height would it reach when thrown in
the same way on the surface of the moon?
Answer in units of m.
