A man stands on the top of a 725 m building and drops a coin from the top of the building. How fast is the coin moving when it hits the ground? Use two different physics principles.
The next two questions are going to deal with Superman’s home planet of Krypton. Here on Earth, an athletic man can do a standing jump of about 1.5 m. On the moon, where gravity is 6 times weaker, an athletic man can do a standing jump of about 9.0 m. Originally, Superman was said to be able to “leap tall buildings with a single bound”. Based on this expression, let’s assume that Superman can jump 200 m here on Earth. Using this information, what is the gravitational acceleration, g, of Krypton?
