MCQ

An astronaut is standing on an asteroid when he accidentally drops a wrench. He observes that the gravitational acceleration on the asteroid is $2.4 m / s ^2$. If he had thrown the wrench at an upward angle instead, he would have found the gravitational acceleration on the asteroid to be:

A
less than $2.4 m / s ^2$
B
downward at $2.4 m / s ^2$
C
greater than $2.4 m / s ^2$
D
toward him at $2.4 m / s ^2$

✓

Answer

(b) downward at $2.4 m / s ^2$
Explanation: The acceleration will be downward at $2.4 m / s ^2$.
