A falling object experiment is performed to determine the acceleration due to gravity on an unknown planet (not the Earth) from photographic data of the falling object. At time = 0 seconds, the object's displacement is 0 m. At time = 0.4 seconds, the object's displacement is 1.9 m. From the above information, calculate the value of the acceleration due to gravity on the unknown planet.

A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 109000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 7.56 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 7.56 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take? A 4 hr 0 min B 2 hr 0 min C 2 hr 7 min D 1 hr 29 min
The first astronaut has landed on Mars. Conducting some physics experiments, she drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. A. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Mars. B. She then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If she comes back to her hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did she throw it?
