While visiting Planet Physics, you toss a rock straight up at 11m/s and catch it 2.5 s later. While you visit the surface, your cruise ship orbits at an altitude equal to the planet's radius every 250 min.
Part A. What is the mass of Planet Physics?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Part B. What is the radius of Planet Physics?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Use equation of kinematics to find the required acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet and use that to find the required mass and radius using the given time period of revolution as shown below.
