The Cassini spacecraft traveled with a companion module, Huygens, that split off so that it could land on Saturn's moon, Titan. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Titan is 1.352 m/s?. If a piece of Huygens falls from a height of 1.40 m and lands on the surface of Titan, how long would the piece take to fall? Assume it starts from rest. 2.07 s 0.535 s 1.43 s 0.286 s
