You wake up in a strange room. There is a window on the floor, and you can see that you are in a rocket which has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 7.03 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.15 m, it hits the floor 0.384 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 22.1 m/s^2 39.0 m/s^2 30.6 m/s^2 33.2 m/s^2

If a spaceship traveling through deep space with the velocity vector as a function of time: v = (2t i +4t j+ 6t k) m/s. (time is in seconds). Given the initial position of the spaceship is r0= (20 i− 50 j − 100 k ) m. At what time would the spaceship be the closest to the origin? and What would the acceleration of the spaceship be at this instant? If you can express the acceleration in Cartesian vector form. Also ? is the unit vector in the z-direction.

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 23.7 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.212 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 37.9 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.
