  1. OK, 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 8.10 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.35 m, it hits the floor 0.256 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you?

    81.5 m/s^2

    72.6 m/s^2

    108.1 m/s^2

    63.6 m/s^2

Another strange awakening in a room with no windows. This time you drop a ball from a height of 2.29 m and it hits the floor 0.410 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?

1a. You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 51.0 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.01 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.136 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome...
