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 ${R_e}$ 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

  • A

    $0.2\,{R_e}$

  • B

    $2\,{R_e}$

  • C
