Comparison of vertical launches on Planet X and Planet Y.
An astronaut on Planet X launches a ball vertically upward with an initial speed \(v_0\), and the ball reaches a maximum height \(H\). The astronaut then travels to Planet Y, where the acceleration due to gravity is \(3g_X\), where \(g_X\) is the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X. On Planet Y, the astronaut launches a second ball vertically upward with an initial speed \(2v_0\). What is the maximum height reached by the second ball on Planet Y?
