Assume that the acceleration due to gravity

on the surface of the moon is 0.2 times the

acceleration due to gravity on the surface

of the earth. If R, is the maximum range of

a projectile on the earth's surface, what is

the maximum range on the surface of the

moon for the same velocity of projection
