An astronaut on earth is able to throw a ball straight up to a height of 10.6 m. When the same astronaut travels to an unknown planet and throws the same ball straight up, the ball is able to reach a height of 52.1 m. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this unknown planet?

1. Games in Space: On Earth, an astronaut throws a ball straight upward, and it stays in the air for a total of 3.0s before they catch it at the same height they released it. On the Moon, acceleration due to gravity is1/6 the value on Earth. If the astronaut repeats this process on the Moon, giving the ball the same initial speed, how much time would pass before they catch it?
Section 13.5 Gravitational Potential Energy 15. An astronaut on earth can throw a ball straight up to a height of 15 m. How high can he throw the ball on Mars?
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +18.9 m/s and measures a time of 16.1 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +17.9 m/s and measures a time of 22.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)
When you throw a ball straight up, it slows down until it comes to a stop at its greatest height and then accelerates downward. The time it takes for a ball thrown upward to reach a height, , is given by . The initial velocity needed to get it to that height is given by How long will a ball be in the air on Earth that you throw to a height of 6.525 m?
A person is at the top of a mountain. Throw a ball straight up with unknown speed. the ball reaches the maximum height of 490 meters (measured from the base of the mountain). It also took 12.5 seconds for the ball to reach the base of the mountain. Determine the initial speed of the ball, and what is the height of the mountain.
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? See Diagram below: Show your work below:
Concept Simulation 2.3 offers a useful review of the concepts central to this problem. An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15.0 m/s and measures a time of 15.1 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive-up, negative-down) Number Units the tolerance is +/-5%
1. Concept Simulation 2.3 offers a useful review of the concepts central to this problem. An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +21.4 m/s and measures a time of 22.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down) 2. A golf ball is...
You throw a ball straight up. The ball has an initial speed of 11.2 m/s when it leaves your hand. A) What is the maximum height the ball reaches relative to the throwing point. B) How long does it take the ball to reach this height? C) What is the position of the ball at t=2s? D) At what height does the ball have a speed of +5m/s?
