A spaceship hovering over the surface of Saturn drops an object from a height of 12 m. How much longer does it take to reach the surface than if dropped from the same height on Earth? Neglect air resistance in both cases. [The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 91.6% of that on Earth, gSaturn = (0.916)g.]

(a) A spaceship is projected vertically upward from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 6.96 km/s, but unfortunately does not have a great enough speed to escape Earth's gravity. What maximum height does the spaceship reach (in m)? Ignore air resistance. (b) A meteoroid falls from a height of 2.21 ✕ 107 m above the surface of the Earth. What is the speed (in m/s) when the meteorite hits the Earth? Assume the meteoroid is initially at rest with respect to the Earth. (Note that a meteorite is a meteoroid that makes it to Earth's surface.)

A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 50.0 s. What was the height, in meters, of the balloon above the ground, if it was ascending with a speed of 20.0 m/s when the bottle was dropped? [Neglect air resistance. Assume g = 9.80 m/s2] [Answer with 4 significant figures]
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is reported as 3.7 m/s2. Express this value in terms of km/min2.
A skater with mass 66 kg is skating on a horizontal surface at a constant speed 4.2 m/s. There is a ramp ahead, and the skater has just enough speed to make it to the top of the ramp (meaning the speed at the top of the ramp is 0 m/s). What is the height of the ramp in the unit of meters? Use g = 10 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
On the surface of Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7m/s2. What would a rock’s speed be 5 seconds after you dropped it (from rest) on Mars?
A roadrunner is cruising at 14 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 45 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away. If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, what was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the valley?
A roadrunner is cruising at 6 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 25 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away. If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, how long will it take to hit the valley (flat) below?
