13. On a distant planet, an astronaut drops a steel ball from a height of 150 meters. He observes that it takes 10 seconds for the ball to reach the surface of the planet. The distance that the ball falls from the starting point is recorded with the instruments that he carries in his spaceship, with this, he generates the table shown below. Using the data provided, determine the gravitational acceleration corresponding to the planet the astronaut is on. Write the answer using two significant figures.

The standard acceleration of gravity at the earth's surface is g=9.81m/s2. Convert this acceleration to units of inches/min2.
You want to visit your friend in Seattle and decide to take the train. Unfortunately, you are late getting to the train station. You are running as fast as you can, but 30 meters ahead of you the train begins to pull out. You can run at a maximum speed of 8 m/s and the train is accelerating at 1 m/s². In 50 meters you will reach a barrier. Can you catch up to the departing train? Argue why you should or should not jump onto the moving train?
