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 7.12 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 1.37 m, it hits the floor 0.218 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you?

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? OK, this is the last time for one of these crazy...

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....

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...

You drop a ball from a window located on an upper floor of a building. It strikes the ground with speed v. You now repeat the drop, but your friend down on the ground throws another ball upward at the same speed v, releasing her ball at the same moment that you drop yours from the window. At some location, the balls pass each other. Is this location (a) at the halfway point between window and ground, (b) above this...

You land on an alien planet. While in orbit, you see that the radius is 4075 km. While on the surface, you drop a rock (from rest) from a height of 1.50 m above the surface and you observe that the rock takes 0.734 s to reach the ground. What is the mass of the planet? What is the average density of this planet? (Assume the planet is spherical. The volume of a sphere is  V = 4 3...

Upon landing on an alien planet which lacks an atmosphere, you perform an experiment designed to determine the acceleration due to gravity. A small but powerful cannon fires a ball directly upwards from ground level with the ball leaving the cannon with a speed of 37.5 m/s. The ball is measured to reach a maximum height of 311.0 m. (11.1) What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet ? (11.2) How much time elapses between the ball leaving...
