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 11 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. if it takes 7.0 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it was released, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?

Interesting ...

gravity can be considered as *constant* acceleration, then you have:

h = v0*t + 1/2*g*t^2,

Final height is the same as the initial = 0

0 = 11*7 +1/2*g*7^2 ---> g = -11*7*2/7^2 = -22/7 m/s^2

Minus because it goes down, You can say g_planet = 22/7 m/s^2 ~ 3.14 m/s^2. Earth's one on its surface is about 9.81 m/s^2, so this planet has 3 times less gravity. It may be 1/3 the radius of the Earth, assuming same density. This is not asked! :)

Answer: g = -3.143 m/s²

Explanation: To determine acceleration due to the gravitational force, it can be used the following formula:

v = v₀ + gt, where:

v₀ is the initial velocity;

g is acceleration due to gravity

t is the time to return to the point of origin

When the rock return to the point of origin, there is no velocity, so v = 0.

The time to go up is the same to go down, so t = \frac{t}{2} = \frac{7}{2}.

Substituing in the formula:

v = v₀ + gt

0 = 11 + g.\frac{7}{2}

g = \frac{(0 - 11).2}{7}

g = - 3.143

The acceleration due to the gravitational force is g = - 3.143 m/s².
