- Figure out the acceleration due to gravity ( g ) on various hypothetical alien planets. On planet #2, you launch a projectile straight up from the ground at a speed of 27.9 m/s. The projectile reaches a maximum height of 75.5 m before falling back to the ground. What is the value of g for planet #2?arrow_forwardA ball is released from rest from the top of the empire state building. Use g=9.8 m/sec^2 and ignore air resistance.

- suzie is standing at the top of a cliff. she says if she drops a heavy rock off the cliff it is 110 meters high. the rock starts from rest, and gravity accelerates the rock at 9.81 m/s^2 downwars. how long it should take for the rock to fall 110meters?arrow_forwardOK, this is the last time for one of these crazy adventures. THIS time, though, there is a window in the floor, and you can see that you re in a rocket which has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 9.60 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 1.20 m, it hits the floor 0.362 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 16.5 m/s^2 8.7 m/s^2 28.1 m/s^2 18.4 m/s^2arrow_forwardM5arrow_forward

This time you drop a ball from a height of 1.67 m and it hits the floor 0.292 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 1 58.8 m/s^2 29.4 m/s^2 3 49.0 m/s^2 4 39.2 m/s^2arrow_forwardThe next few questions challenge you to figure out the acceleration due to gravity ( g ) on various hypothetical alien planets.

What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 27.3 m/s^2 33.3 m/s^2 17.5 m/s^2 37.1 m/s^2arrow_forwardSuppose that in the future humans can travel to different earth like planets within our galaxy. You take a trip to a new planet with a different gravitational acceleration than earth. To test this gravitational acceleration, you decide to drop a ball a distance of 2 meters. You measure how long it takes the ball to fall 2.0 meter multiple times and take an average. The average drop time is 0.52 seconds. What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet (in units of m/s squared)?arrow_forwardAn astronaut exploring a distant solar system lands on a planet with a gravitational acceleration of 7.46 m/s2.
