In the distant future, when humans have mastered space

Last updated: 7/5/2022

In the distant future, when humans have mastered space travel, we find ourselves on a new planet. We have determined that the radius of the planet is 6.7x10^6 m. In addition, the amount of time for a 9.0 kg ball to fall 86.4 m from rest is measured to be 3.9 s. Use this information to determine the mass of this new planet. Hint: You can consider the acceleration due to gravity to be constant because the ball remains near the surface of the new planet. Use kinematics to start.
