Answer:
The time is 1.8s
Explanation:
The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.
Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.
From the question,
h=16m
Also, let take

By substitution we obtain,


Diving through by 9.8


square root both sides, we obtain


Still go straight but would obviously go up in speed!!

The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N
Explanation:
The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation
(1)
where
m is the mass of the astronaut
g is the acceleration of gravity
The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance
from the centre of the Earth is given by

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface,
(where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is

Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is

Therefore, the new weight is

Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is
