4. you drop a ball from a height of 1.88 m and it hits the floor 0.248 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 61.1 m/s^2 102.6 m/s^2 51.3 m/s^2 70.9 m/s^2
