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 dropped from rest from a height of 8.50 m. It hits the pavement, then bounces back up, rising just 6.20 m before falling back down again. A boy then catches the ball when it is 1.30 m above the pavement. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the total amount of time that the ball is in the air, from drop to catch.

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%
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)
A golf ball is dropped from rest from a height of 8.10 m. It hits the pavement, then bounces back up, rising just 6.10 m before falling back down again. A boy then catches the ball when it is 1.50 m above the pavement. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the total amount of time that the ball is in the air, from drop to catch.
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 +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:

1.) a.) The velocity of a diver just before hitting the water is -7 m/s, where the minus sign indicates that her motion is directly downward. What is her displacement during the last 1.03 s of the dive? ______m b.) 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 +12 m/s and measures a time of 18.0 s before the rock returns to his...
In Concept Simulation 10.2 you can explore the concepts that are important in this problem. Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.20 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 430 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this 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?
Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the gravitational force on this planet so you devise an experiment. You throw a rock up in the air with an initial velocity of 9 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. If it takes 5.2 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it...
