Suppose the situation described in Conceptual Checkpoint 8-2 is repeated on the fictional planet Epsilon, where the acceleration due to gravity is less than it is on the Earth. (a) Would the height of a hill on Epsilon that causes a reduction in speed from 4 m/s to 0 be greater than, less than, or equal to the height of the corresponding hill on Earth? Explain. (b) Consider the hill on Epsilon discussed in part (a). If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, will the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than, less than, or equal to 3 m/s? Explain.
