The figure can be represented as follows: The expressions areh=12gt2; t=2hg; x=ut=2hgu or t∝1g; x∝1gFor moon, gmoon=g6,substituting in Eq. (1) and comparing, we gettMoon=6t>tEarth, xMoon=6x>xEarthHence, Statements I and II both are correct.Now, vx = u, sovy=gt=g2hg=2ghor v∝g. Since gMoon=g/6, we have vMoon
