Suppose our experimenter repeats his experiment on a planet more massive than Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is g = 30~\rm m/s^2. When he releases the ball from chin height without giving it a push, how will the ball's behavior differ from its behavior on Earth? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Select all that apply.)a. It will smash his face. b.It will stop well short of his face. c.It will take less time to return to the point from which it was released. d.Its mass will be greater. e.It will take more time to return to the point from which it was released

C

Explanation:

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ massive planet be a = 30 m/s^2

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ earth be g = 30 m/s^2

Solution:

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration a on massive planet is:

                                 t = v / a

                                 t = v / 30

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration g on earth is:

                                 t = v / g

                                 t = v / 9.81

- Hence, we can see the average time taken by the ball on massive planet is less than that on earth to reach back to its initial position. Hence, option C

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true
