Question: On an alien planet, where g = 4 ms 2 , a lightweight mass, a medium - weight mass, and a heavyweight mass all slide,

On an alien planet, where g=4ms2, a lightweight mass, a medium-weight mass, and a heavyweight mass all slide, starting with zero speed, down a frictionless ramp. The ramp levels out then they continue to slide up an identical ramp (also frictionless). Which object reaches the greatest height on the second ramp? You may neglect air resistance.
Group of answer choices
The medium-weight mass.
The heavyweight mass.
The lightweight mass.
We must know the individual masses to determine which reaches the greatest height.
All three reach the same height.
