An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 29000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.77 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2.
520 g s
260 g s

The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet
again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.36
m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.316 s after
your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to
an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What
is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration
due to gravity on this planet)?
