Question 908531: An object is released from rest on a planet that has no atmosphere. The object falls freely for 3 m in the first second. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?
a. 3 m/s^2
b.1.5 m/s^2
c. 6 m/s^2
d.12.0 m/s^2

You can put this solution on YOUR website! An object is released from rest on a planet that has no atmosphere. The object falls freely for 3 m in the first second. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?
--------------
a = 6 m/sec/sec
The distance s is -3 meters since it is downward.
The initial velocity vo is 0 since it is released from rest.
The time t is 1 second.
Answer:
The answer should be negative as it is on earth .
However they apparently ignore the negative sign.
Ignoring the sign, the answer is
Edwin
