epicycles were orbits within orbits used to explain discrepancies between expected and observed planetary movement, including the appearance of planets slowing down, speeding up, and moving backward.
Answer:
this situation would not be physically possible
Time=speed/acceleration
Gravitaional Acceleration=9.8 m/s^2
Speed=24.5 m/s
Time=24.5/9.8=2.5 s
