An object is thrown vertically upward with a certain initial velocity in a world where the acceleration due to gravity is 19.6 m/s².The height to which it rises is ____ that to which the object would rise if thrown upward with the same initial velocity on the Earth.Neglect air resistance. A)one fourth B)half C)twice D)four times E)cannot be calculated from the given data

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The height reached by an object thrown upward is inversely proportional to the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity in this world is twice that of Earth (19.6 m/s² compared to 9.8 m/s²), the object will rise to half the height it would on Earth.
