23M.1A.SL.TZ1.5

A ball is projected at an angle to the horizonal on Earth reaching a maximum height H and a maximum range R. The same ball is projected at the same angle and speed on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is three times that on Earth. Resistance effects are negligible.

What is the maximum range and the maximum height reached on that planet?

	Maximum range	Maximum height reached
A.	$\frac{R}{3}$	$\frac{H}{3}$
B.	$R$	$\frac{H}{3}$
C.	$R$	$\frac{H}{9}$
D.	$\frac{R}{3}$	$\frac{H}{9}$
