If an astronaut can throw a certain wrench 15.0 m vertically upward on earth how high could he throw it on your moon if he gives it the same starting speed in both places?

Since the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, the astronaut would be able to throw the wrench approximately 6 times higher on the Moon than on Earth. So, if the astronaut can throw the wrench 15.0 m vertically upward on Earth, he could throw it about 90.0 m on the Moon with the same initial speed.
