The diagram shows the path of a projectile that is launched with velocity \(v\). Air resistance is negligible.

A second projectile has double the mass of the first projectile and is launched with the same velocity. Air resistance is still negligible. Which of the following paths best represents the path of the projectile? (The original path is shown as a dotted line)

D

Energy consideration (with the masses cancelling) leads to D as the correct response.
