9 Spaceman Spiff lost his ship's altimeter during a freak meteor storm, but he needs to know when to deploy his retro rockets to insure a safe landing back on earth. Luckily, he has his trusty toy dart gun whose spring has a 110 N/m spring constant. He loads his 7.2 gram suction cup dart, compresses the spring 4.0 cm, takes vertical aim at the cabin ceiling, and shoots. The suction cup dart flies 1.47 meters above its initial spring-compressed position. What is Spiff's altitude above earth? a
