- Hey im stuck on this question You are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make. Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system. Please use grade 12 kinematics and label the variables as v1, v2, a (Acceleration), t (time), d (displacement) Thanks!arrow_forwardOn 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.
