• A) Moon A has an escape velocity that is 1.4 times larger than Moon B.
• B) Moon A has an escape velocity that is 1.4 times smaller than Moon B.
• C) Moon A has an escape velocity that is 2 times smaller than Moon B.
• D) Moon A has an escape velocity that is 2 times larger than Moon B.
• E) Because gravity affects all masses the same, the escape velocities are the same.
