You have just landed on Planet X. You release a 180 gg ball from rest from a height of 10.0 mm and measure that it takes 3.40 ss to reach the ground. Ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. A. How much does the 180 gg ball weigh on the surface of Planet X? Express your answer with the appropriate units
