suppose you are visiting a planet in a distant part of the galaxy. to determine the acceleration due to gravity on this planet, you drop a rock from a height of 55m. the rock strikes the ground 1.9s later.how many times greater is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet than on earth?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[g=\frac{2h}{t^2}\]
