Near the surface of a distant planet, the acceleration due to gravity is 26 feet per second squared (26ft over sec squared) express this using unit analysis in miles per square minute. Round answer to tenths place.
:
26s^2
:
26 ft accelerated for 1 min
:
26(60^2) = 93,600 ft which is = 17.7 mi
:
17.7m^2
:
:
See if that is true, check using 2 min (120 sec)
26(120^2) = 374400 ft which is = 70.9 miles
and
17.7(2^2) = 70.8 miles, close enough
