On a fictional planet, the gravitational acceleration (g) is different from Earth's. Imagine that, on this planet, you do a simple experiment in which you drop a ball (from rest) from different heights and record the time it takes for it to fall to the ground. The data is provided for you in the table below. Ploth vs. 12, draw the best fit line, and find the gravitational acceleration of the planet using the slope of this line. Use two decimal places in your answer using the units of m/s².

Apparently, Felix chose this tower as his testing location due to a strangely soft and cushiony rock formation at the base. Meaning the cats will land unharmed. A) If Felix flings the felines flat, meaning no initial vertical velocity, how long will it take the cats to land on a platform 10 meters below? Just consider the one, vertical, dimension?
A cylinder is given a push and then rolls up an inclined plane. If the origin is the starting point, sketch the position, velocity,and acceleration of the cylinder vs. time as it goes up and then down the plane.
On the moon the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of Earth's. A ball is thrown straight up to the moon and it takes t= 19s to return to the surface. What is the numeric value for the magnitude of the free fall acceleration on the moon, g in m/s^2? Write an expression for the maximum height achieved by the ball on the moon, hm, in terms of the gravitation acceleration on earth, g, and the time, t. What is the numeric value for this height in meters? What is the difference in the maximum height of the ball when it is theon on the Moon (hm) and the ball being thrown on the Earth (hE), assuming the same time of flight?

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 16.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 58.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) x = y = f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? vf = m/s θ = ° below the horizontal
An airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of h as shown in the figure. If the ball lands on the ground a horizontal distance equal to the height h from the release point, find the speed v of the plane in terms of h and g. Neglect any effects due to air resistance. Note that this type of question is to be solved symbolically, ie, using only the symbols h and g, instead of plugging in numbers.
Hey im stuck on this question You are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make. Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system. Please use grade 12 kinematics and label the variables as v1, v2, a (Acceleration), t (time), d (displacement) Thanks!
