Question
In the distant future, humanity has a colony on the Moon. Remember that the free-fall acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth: g_Karth- 9.8 m/s^2 but q_Moon- I.6 a) At this time, due to inflation, bananas in a supermarket on the I-faith cost $50/lb. They also cost $50/lb. up the supermarket on the Moon. Where will you get a better deal on bananas, or is it the same deal at both locations? In other words, if you're willing to pay $50 for a pound of bananas, which supermarket will give you more bananas in return? Explain. If the price for bananas is $50/kg instead of $50/lb., where should you buy your bananas now to get the best deal, or is it the same deal in both locations? Explain.Explanation / Answer
a) If we buy bananas on moon then we get more number of bananas than earth as twh weight of one banana on earth is 6 times more than on moon. So the deal on moon is better as we get more bananas for given amount money.
b) If we decide the price per kg i.e. in terms of mass which is a invariant quantity. The deal is same either on earth or moon.
