you wake up in a strange room, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.242 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 61.1 m/s^2 30.6 m/s^2 45.9 m/s^2 91.7 m/s^2

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384000 km. Suppose it accelerates at an acceleration 20.0 m/s2 for the first time interval 15 min of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last time interval 15 min , when it accelerates at 20.0 m/s2 , just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. What is the maximum speed attained? What fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed? What total time is required for the trip?

The velocity v of a particle moving in the xy plane is given by v = (6.5t -4.0t2 )i + 6.0j, in m/s. Here v is in m/s and t (for positive time) is in s. What is the acceleration when t = 3.0 s? i-component of acceleration? j-component of acceleration? When (if ever) is the acceleration zero (enter time in s or 'never')? When (if ever) is the velocity zero (enter time in s or 'never')?
