Eight arrows are successively shot straight up into the air. All the arrows have the same size

Question:

Eight arrows are successively shot straight up into the air. All the arrows have the same size and shape, but are made of different materials and so have different masses (M). The arrows also have different upward speeds (V) as they leave the bow. The data for the eight arrows is shown here. Ignoring any effects associated with air resistance, rank the arrows according to the maximum height that each achieves from greatest to smallest.
Arrow A: M = 0.075 kg; V = 16 m/s
Arrow B: M = 0.180 kg; V = 12 m/s
Arrow C: M = 0.100 kg; V = 18 m/s
Arrow D: M = 0.075 kg; V = 12 m/s
Arrow E: M = 0.120 kg; V = 10 m/s
Arrow F: M = 0.090 kg; V = 16 m/s
Arrow G: M = 0.180 kg; V = 10 m/s
Arrow H: M = 0.050 kg; V = 8 m/s
