The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.33 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.365 s after your drop it.

What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 40.0 m/s^2 20.0 m/s^2 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2
An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The take-off speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway?
A bb is shot downward from the top of a building leaving the barrel with an initial speed of 11.20 m/s downward. The top of the building is 68.4 m above the ground. How much time elapses between the instant it leaves the barrel and the instant of impact with the ground? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.21 m/sm/s . At a height of 102 mm above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint: What is v0v0 for the package?] Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A stone is dropped (from rest) into a deep well. The splash in the water below is heard 4.2 seconds after it is released (when it starts falling from the top of the well). What is the depth of the well? Ignore air resistance and assume the speed of sound is 343m/s
You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 51 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.84 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 1.19 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg? Do not round the answer. Put all the decimals.
Myla participated in a running competition. She ran around a circular track with a radius of 1.0 x 102 m. Myla completed the track after 2 minutes. If she had a constant speed, what was Myla’s average speed in the entire run? answer in "m·s", please.
(The complete question is in the picture) A particle’s position r in time t was shown to be:r(t) = (t + sin t)ˆi + (t)ˆj + (2.00 [m]) kˆ.What is it’s velocity v and acceleration a at t = 5.00 [s]?A. v = (1.00 [m/s])ˆj,a = (0.0871 [m/s2])ˆiB. v = (1.28 [m/s])ˆi+(1.00 [m/s])ˆj,a = (0.959 [m/s2])ˆiC. v = (2.00 [m/s])ˆi−(0.09 [m/s])ˆj,a = (−0.959 [m/s2])ˆiD. v = (0.72 [m/s])ˆi+(1.00 [m/s])ˆj,a = (−0.959 [m/s2])ˆi
A flashlight is thrown straight up on the Moon at 30.0 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Moon is 1.62 m/s2, and the Moon has no atmosphere. What is the height of the flashlight when it is coming back down with a speed of 20.0 m/s?
A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.
The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.54 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.392 s after your drop it.

What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2 30.0 m/s^2 20.0 m/s^2
