Problem

On a distant planet the acceleration due to gravity is

20\,\text{m/s}^2

. A stone is dropped from rest. Compared with the velocity–time graph of the same experiment on Earth (

g=10\,\text{m/s}^2

), the new graph will be a)

\text{A straight line through the origin with the same slope as on Earth}

\text{A straight line through the origin with double the slope}

\text{A straight line through the origin with half the slope}

\text{A parabola opening upward through the origin}
