F = ma
For a given charge of explosive (force), a smaller mass will undergo a greater acceleration. So, what do you think?
Also, recall that the height h = h<sub><sub>0</sub></sub> + v<sub><sub>0</sub></sub>t - 4.9t^2
a higher h<sub><sub>0</sub></sub> means it will take longer to come back down, right?
