An astronaut drops a marble on the surface of the airless Planet Z-49 and observes that it takes 1.02 s for the marble to fall 2.00 m starting from rest. She also knows that the radius of Z-49 is 3.39 x 106 m. From this information, what will she determine for the mass of Z-49? Hint: A freefall solution using the time will determine the value of the gravitational acceleration. O 3.30 x 1023 kg. O 8.09 x 1023 kg. O 6.62 x 1023 kg. O 9.95 x 1023 kg.

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
