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. 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)?
