**Title: Understanding Gravitational Acceleration on Planet Teflon****Overview:**In this educational scenario, Mr. Stick, a resident of the planet Teflon, conducts an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity on his planet, which differs from Earth's gravitational force.**Experiment Setup:**- Mr. Stick drops a small water balloon from the top of a building.- Initial velocity (\(V_0\)) of the balloon: 0 m/s.- Height (\(H\)) from which the balloon is dropped: 10 meters.- Time taken for the balloon to hit the ground: 1.8 seconds.- Air resistance on Teflon is negligible.**Objective:**To calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet Teflon.**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram shows Mr. Stick standing on top of a building with the water balloon in his hand. The balloon is released from a height of 10 meters. As it falls, it achieves a velocity (\(V_1\)) right before hitting the ground.**Options for Gravitational Acceleration (\(a\)) on Teflon:**- \(6.2 \, \text{m/s}^2\)- \(3.5 \, \text{m/s}^2\)- \(9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\)- \(11.6 \, \text{m/s}^2\)- \(8.3 \, \text{m/s}^2\) To solve for the correct value, use the kinematic equation:\[ H = \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \]Substitute \( H = 10 \, \text{m} \) and \( t = 1.8 \, \text{s} \) to solve for \( a \).This experiment helps students apply physics concepts to understand variations in gravitational forces in different planetary environments.

Given, Height,H=10 m Time to fall down,t=1.8 s Initial velocity,v0=0 m/s

Mr. Stick lives on the planet Teflon where the force due to gravity is different than that of Earth. Mr. Stick drops a small water balloon off the top of a building (Vo=0m/s). He releases the balloon at a height H=10m above the surface of Teflon. The balloon hits the ground 1.8 seconds after it is dropped and has a velocity V1 on impact. (Neglect Teflonian air resistance.) What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet Teflon?

A package is released from a plane which is flying horizontally over flat horizontal ground.After release the package has an initial velocity which is the same as the plane.When the package is released, the plane is a height H above the ground and the speed of the plane is V.If we ignore air resistance, which statement is correct about the time interval between when the package is released and when it hits the ground? It depends only on H and not on V. It does not depend on either H or V. It depends only on V and not on H. It depends on both H and V. -

You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0◦ W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?

A space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know thelocal units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along aleve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°.After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length. Assume theshuttle is small compared to the local length unit and that all atmospheric effects are negligible. Use x and y components.
