Problem

On a distant planet the acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s220\,\text{m/s}^2. A stone is dropped from rest. Compared with the velocity–time graph of the same experiment on Earth (g=10 m/s2g=10\,\text{m/s}^2), the new graph will be (a) A straight line through the origin with the same slope as on Earth\text{A straight line through the origin with the same slope as on Earth} (b) A straight line through the origin with double the slope\text{A straight line through the origin with double the slope} (c) A straight line through the origin with half the slope\text{A straight line through the origin with half the slope} (d) A parabola opening upward through the origin\text{A parabola opening upward through the origin}
