Problem:

As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0m above the cliff. The apparatus then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a distance 10 m below its initial position.

A) Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the exoplanet is a=−5.6j^  m/s^2 {REFER TO ONE OF THE PICTURE}, how long did it take for the apparatus to get from the top of its trajectory to the bottom of the cliff?
The coordinate system is set up such that "up" is in the +j^ direction.
 
Answer a): 2.2 seconds.
 
****B)Suppose the time between the apparatus leaving your hand and landing on the ground was measured to be t=4.80s. What was the velocity of the apparatus leaving your hand?
Suppose the time between the apparatus leaving
your hand and landing on the ground was
measured to be t = 4.80 s. What was the velocity
of the apparatus leaving your hand?
Pick the correct answer
O +11.4j m/s
O +10.7j m/s
O - 10.13 m/s
O +10.13 m/s
-26.9 j m/s

As the first human astronaut to land on a distant
planet, you are standing on the edge of a small
cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus
straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum
height of 3.0 m above the cliff. The apparatus
then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a
distance 10 m below its initial position.
Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the
exoplanet is a =
-5.6j m/s?, how long did it
take for the apparatus to get from the top of its
trajectory to the bottom of the cliff?
The coordinate system is set up such that "up" is
in the +j direction.
Pick the correct answer
1.9 s
O 1.5 s
1.3 s
O 2.2 s
O 1.0 s
