    An astronaut that got stranded on a planet with unknown characteristics is at the top of a cliff. He does not know the acceleration of gravity on that planet, but owns a clock to make measurements. He wants to know the height of the mountain he's standing on, so he made two measurements. First, he drops a rock from the border of the cliff and finds that it takes 2 seconds to touch the ground. Then, he throws the another...
