Question
You have just landed on Planet X. You release a 100-g ball from rest from a height of 10.0 m and measure that it takes 3.40 s to reach the ground. Ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. How much does the 100-g ball weigh on the surface of Planet X?
Step 1
We know that 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilogram. So, the mass of the ball in kilograms is: \[m = 100 \times 0.001 = 0.1 \, \text{kg}\] Show more…

You have just landed on Planet X. You release a $100 \mathrm{~g}$ ball from rest from a height of $13.5 \mathrm{~m}$ and measure that it takes $2.10 \mathrm{~s}$ to reach the ground. Ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. How much does the $100 \mathrm{~g}$ ball weigh on the surface of Planet $\mathrm{X} ?$
You have just landed on Planet X. You take out a 100 -g ball, release it from rest from a height of $10.0 \mathrm{m},$ and measure that it takes 2.2 $\mathrm{s}$ to reach the ground. You can ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. How much does the $100-\mathrm{g}$ ball weigh on the surface of Planet $\mathrm{X} ?$
