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 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 8.98 m/s^2.
When you drop a ball from a height of 1.01 m, it hits the floor
0.326 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below
you?
