You decide to play a trick on your friend using a giant water balloon as shown in the figure below.The balloon is dropped (no initial velocity) from a height of 43.24 meters. At the exact moment you drop the balloon your friend throws a rock straight up to strike and burst the balloon before it lands. We will take the rock to be thrown with an initial velocity of 108 km/hr from an initial height of zero.Convert the rock's initial velocity into proper units. v0(rock) = meters/secondWrite an equation for the y of the balloon at any time. yballoon(t) =
Write an equation for the y of the rock at any time. yrock(t) =

You are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make.
Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system.
Thanks!
