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 an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 8.14 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.15 m, it hits the floor 0.200 s later.

Problem: As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0m above the cliff. The apparatus then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a distance 10 m below its initial position. A) Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the exoplanet is a=−5.6j^ m/s^2 {REFER TO ONE OF THE PICTURE}, how long did it take for the apparatus to get from the top of its trajectory to the bottom of the cliff? The coordinate system is set up such that "up" is in the +j^ direction. Answer a): 2.2 seconds. ****B)Suppose the time between the apparatus leaving your hand and landing on the ground was measured to be t=4.80s. What was the velocity of the apparatus leaving your hand?arrow_forward

If there is a ledge right at the bottom of this cliff that you want to avoid, so as to land safely in the liquid methane, that is 1.13 m wide, and assuming your initial velocity is directed entirely along the x-axis, how fast (in m/s) do you need to be running in order to land in the liquid methane?arrow_forwardOK, 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.

We can still estimate distances using the time periods Δti = ti − ti − 1. For example, a space shuttle was launched on a mission, the purpose of which was to install a new motor in a satellite. The table provided gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use these data to estimate the height, h, above Earth's surface of the space shuttle, 62 seconds after liftoff.
