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?

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...

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?

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...

2. (15pts, 5pts each) A ball is thrown from the top of a building that is H = 40 m height. It has an initial velocity v0 that is at angle of  = 53° below the horizontal direction, as shown in the below Figure. The ball hits the ground t = 2.0 s after being thrown. You may neglect air resistance. a) Find the magnitude of the initial velocity v0 of the ball. b) Find the velocity of the ball just...
