In order to find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on some planet, NASA and the CSA invented a simple device which launches a small metal ball straight up with an initial speed of 13.00 m/s. The device then records the maximum height that the ball reaches before returning to the device. If on the planet, the ball reaches a maximum height of 11.1 m (neglecting air resistance) before returning to the device. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Your Answer: Answer units Jed A

The next few questions challenge you to figure out the acceleration due to gravity ( g ) on various hypothetical alien planets. On Planet #1, you drop a stone from rest, 76.1 m above the ground, and the stone hits the ground 6.17 s later. What is the value of g on Planet #1? 24.67 m/s^2 4.00 m/s^2 2.00 m/s^2 12.33 m/s^2
A missile silo is used to launch military rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Determine the velocity of the rocket (in m/s) at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time (in s). (For the velocity, indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) velocity at end of engine V = 92.22 Check your kinematic equation relating vo, V1, ay, and AYo → 1 (where velocity of rocket as it clears the silo, v, = velocity of the rocket at…
Suppose that in the future humans can travel to different earth like planets within our galaxy. You take a trip to a new planet with a different gravitational acceleration than earth. To test this gravitational acceleration, you decide to drop a ball a distance of 2 meters. You measure how long it takes the ball to fall 2.0 meter multiple times and take an average. The average drop time is 0.52 seconds. What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet (in units of m/s squared)?
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 8.00 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.41 m, it hits the floor 0.209 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? a. 111.3 m/s^2 b. 153.5 m/s^2 c. 102.3 m/s^2 d. 120.2 m/s^2
Planet X was just discovered orbitinga nearby star! It orbits a start that is 6.9 times themass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away. The acceleration due to gravity thereis 0.07 g. After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s. What would happen if you were tolaunch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° abovehorizontal on Planet X? (a) What maximum height would the projectilereach?(b) How far would the projectile travel before ithit the ground? Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.
You wake up in a strange room with no windows. This time you drop a ball from a height of 2.24 m and it hits the floor 0.203 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? 98.9 m/s^2 118.5 m/s^2 108.7 m/s^2 178.0 m/s^2

In the winter sport of bobsledding, athletes push their sled along a horizontal ice surface and then hop on the sled as it starts to careen down the steeply sloped track. In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 5.0 degrees. What is the sled's speed after it has traveled the first 140 m?
An object has an acceleration as a function of time given by (in m/s2): A = (3t2 + 3t) i + (7t3 + 6) j Given: at t=0.0 s, the object is at the origin with a velocity of 0.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity (in m/s) when t= 4 s ?
You wake up in a room with no windows. You drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.242 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 rockets acceleration to be? 102.6 m/s^2 51.3 m/s^2 70.9 m/s^2 61.1 m/s^2
You and your friend would like to experimentally determine a value for g, an object's acceleration due to gravity on Earth. Your friend sets a baseball on the edge of a desk, and you crouch down by the floor, waiting for the ball to drop. She pushes the ball off the desk and yells GO! to signal you to press START your phone's stopwatch app. When the ball hits the floor, you press STOP on the app to stop the timer, and see that the time reads t = 0.606 s. Using a tape measure with markings for cm, you measure the top of the desk to be h = 123 cm from the floor. Part 1) Assuming the ball started with no initial vertical velocity, calculate the value of g in your experiment symbolically. Assume that g is a positive number. Part 2) Using your previous symbolic answer and the qualities from the experiment, determine a numeric value for g. Part 3) What is a reasonable quantitative estimate for your uncertainty in stopping the timer, sigma t? What about your error in measuring the height…
