A. An object takes 5 s to reach the ground from a height of 5 m on a
planet. What is the value of g on the
planet?
Ans: 0.4 m/s2​

g = 0.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Height = 5 meters

Time = 5 seconds

To find the acceleration due to gravity (g) on the planet;

Mathematically, the maximum height of an object is given by the formula;

H = ½gt²

Where;

H is the height measured in meters.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

t is time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5 = ½ * g * 5²

5 = 0.5 * g * 25

5 = 12.5 * g

g = 5/12.5

g = 0.4 m/s²
