Mr. Stick lives on the planet Teflon where the force due to gravity is different than that of Earth. Mr. Stick drops a small water balloon off the top of a building (Vo=0m/s). He releases the balloon at a height H=10m above the surface of Teflon. The balloon hits the ground 1.8 seconds after it is dropped and has a velocity V1 on impact. (Neglect Teflonian air resistance.) What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet Teflon?

A circus performer throws an apple toward a hoop held by a performer on a platform (Fig. P4.27). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws with a speed of 24 m/s. At the exact moment the thrower releases the apple, the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. a. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop? b. If the performer on the platform did not drop the hoop, would the apple pass through it? Figure P4.27
